Medical Exam Fees (Small Town)

[weirdjim]

My AME just retired and there isn't another one in town. The closest one is an hour away in a medium (100K population) town. He is charging $170 for a third class without any complications (like an unusual waiver, etc.).

Is this about normal for the rest of y'all?

Hey, it's california.

My old AME charged $120 but he gave a 50% discount to pilots.
My current one is charging close to $100.

 

[ahkahn]

I was charged $300 in suburban Chicago...

 

[weilke]

Sounds about right.

 

[Cpt_Kirk]

$90 for first class.

 

[Brad Z]

Payed $100 (well $200 since I needed an ekg for a 1st class) last year in northern VA.

It's almost twice what I pay for a second class with no complications.

 

[jbarrass]

90 for a 3d class here. No up charge when I need my SI (but it was a simple one). Market pricing rules....

 

[Mike Smith]

$75 in July this year for a 3rd.

Hi Jim,
I use Dr. Robert Taylor in Roseville. (Maybe an hour for you) I seem to remember it being in the $120 to $130 range.

 

[Hank S]

Mine in October was $105.

 

[Luvrv8]

$100 here in Camarillo and that included my DMV physical too.

 

[jordane93]

I believe mine was $175 here in Long Island

 

[NWADC9]

Sounds a little high, not too bad though, 100-120 seems the norm

More importantly I'd be looking for PIREPS about the guy before signing anything, even as a healthy young dude I had one experience with a bad AME, cost me a month or so of BS.

Some are good folks, some like to think they have some authority, if you ever see one wearing a white coat, laugh, then leave.

 

[KennyC]

I think I paid $110 for a 3rd earlier this year.

 

[MAKG1]

I just made an appointment today. $120 2nd or 3rd, $140 1st, in Silicon Valley.

 

[N801BH]

175.00 for a 3rd in Jackson Hole Wy...

What, is your AME charging a dollar a year of age for your zombie ass?

 

[N801BH]

Yup.....

 

[mnewb1]

There's a good one in Davis. $85 last time I got one. Come by and we can go out to lunch.

 

[Jeff Oslick]

$90 in SoCal to an excellent AME, somewhat complicated 2nd class issuance (non-SI, but close). $170 isn't in line with the market, but if there aren't more options, that's what the market will bear without travelling.

 

[frfly172]

100 in RI for a class 2.

[SPAJC]

Been $100 in the past. AME retired and the replacement he recommended did it for $80 this year.

 

[Jay Honeck]

Mary and I paid $120 apiece for ten minutes of "medical testing" and 20 minutes of hangar flying.

$170 seems even higher than normal.

 

[Van Johnston]

$75 for third class. $0 for 30 addl minutes of political opinion.

 

[SCCutler]

I paid $80 here in Dallas a couple of months back; same rate he charged in 2002!

Is the doc from Lincoln? My AME sees me at APC but he lives in Lincoln, commutes down in his 206, and charges $85 as well.
