I just got the cost estimate for my eval, but it feels very arbitrary to me because it's a large, neat number. Is it fair to ask for a cost break down? We had discussed some of which tests would be done and ones that aren't necessary on our 15 min intro call a few months ago, and since then i received a doc to sign that had the hourly rate on it - but i don't have access to it anymore because it was a one time portal. But I also don't have info on how this price was generated beyond calculating that it is 24 hours of the rate....seems like a lot to me. Is it normal to sort of be a flat fee or can I ask for a breakdown before paying the upfront downpayment? Private pay.

I've had very frequent cankersores for as long as I can remember, often having multiple (and painful) at the same time. I've changed my diet (avoided pineapple, acidic foods), oral hygiene (eliminated SLS years ago). Nothing's worked. I get them so frequently, I've never been able to tie them stress, diet, etc. I know there can be genetic and age components, but I'm past the age of growing out of them. One of my parents was prone to cankersores, but grew out of them as a young adult. Has anyone actually figured out a medical cause for their cankersores?

Looking through the history of this sub, it doesn't seem hopeful.
