Cash-pay context
Why pricing transparency matters here
ENT is a specialty where in-office procedures can save patients thousands compared to hospital-based alternatives. In-office balloon sinuplasty at $2,000-4,000 cash-pay replaces hospital sinus surgery billed at $10,000-30,000. Cash-pay pricing on OpenDoc gives you access to these cost-effective in-office alternatives with transparent, all-inclusive pricing.

Why subspecialty matters
Why OpenDoc separates these care paths instead of collapsing them
Focused training matters
Specialties often branch into narrower care paths. Seeing them clearly helps patients choose providers with training that actually matches the problem.
Prices match the care path
A sports medicine visit, a spine evaluation, and a tumor consult are not the same visit. OpenDoc keeps pricing attached to the path, not just the umbrella specialty.
Less guesswork before booking
Patients should understand the likely route before they see provider cards. That lowers false starts and makes the next step into provider search feel clearer.
Better provider fit
This page keeps specialty, subspecialty, common visit types, and price context aligned so users can move into provider selection with more confidence.
