Transparent pricing for cancer consultations, second opinions, and treatment
Medical Oncology is the specialty focused on transparent pricing for cancer consultations, second opinions, and treatment. OpenDoc keeps the common visit types visible so patients can compare the care path before they book. Transparent pricing on this page currently ranges from $150 to $5,000 across 12 common visit types. Medical oncology on OpenDoc provides cash-pay access to cancer specialists for second opinions, survivorship care, and treatment consultations. Nearly 2 million Americans are diagnosed with cancer annually, and a second opinion changes the diagnosis or treatment plan in up to 20% of cases. Cash-pay oncology consultations on OpenDoc start at $250–$500 with no referral or prior authorization required.

Cash-pay context
Why pricing transparency matters here
Cancer care is the most expensive category in healthcare, and insurance often dictates where you can be treated and which drugs are covered. A cash-pay oncology second opinion gives you an unbiased assessment unconstrained by your insurer's network or formulary. For consultations and survivorship care, cash-pay pricing is often comparable to insurance copays at major cancer centers.

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.
