Physician fees are not regulated or capped. Usually, insurance companies set the amount they are willing to pay for a particular treatment; but physicians are allowed to charge as they see fit. Under Georgia law, you have the right to inquire in advance about estimated charges for routine office visits, routine treatments and lab tests.
