If you are seeing Dr. Hasanoglu as a private patient he now does drug screens in his office, and they will only cost $50 cash. A patient seeing him through Waukesha or Rogers Memorial hospitals will have to deal with the hospital for their drug tests, and they can be a bit more pricey there. The advantage of seeing him through one of those hospitals is your insurance can pay for your doctor visits, and they will also assist you in putting together a treatment plan appropriate for you. If you do see him privately, and have to pay the $100/visit fee, keep in mind that this is a standard price and practice among suboxone doctors, and some are even more expensive. No matter how you slice it, even if you have to pay the the entire prescription out of pocket, it is still cheaper than maintaining the opiate addiction that put you in to treatment in the first place. If suboxone costs more than your drug of choice, you we're either very well connected, or your habit was small enough that you should consider something other than maintenance as a recovery option.
