Palliative Care
Palliative Care is the specialty focused on specialized comfort-focused care for serious illness with transparent consultation and symptom management pricing. 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 $100 to $600 across 14 common visit types. Studies show that early palliative care integration improves quality of life and in some cases extends survival — yet fewer than 30% of eligible patients receive timely palliative care referrals. OpenDoc provides direct access to board-certified palliative care specialists starting at $125 per visit, helping patients with serious illness manage symptoms, clarify goals, and navigate complex treatment decisions without waiting for an inpatient referral.
