Austin's Best Cash-Pay Clinics Ranked by MarketCare Score
Ranked: Austin's top 10 cash-pay clinics by MarketCare Score. Compare ratings, prices, specialties, and locations to find the best value healthcare.
Austin has a lot of healthcare options. Some are genuinely great values. Some are overpriced for what you get. And a few are absolute standouts that not enough people know about.
We looked at price transparency, patient reviews, range of services, and how easy it actually is to get seen — then ranked the top 10. Whether you're uninsured, on a high-deductible plan, or just tired of not knowing what things cost — here's where to go.

How the MarketCare Score Works
Four factors:
- Price transparency (30%) — do they publish clear upfront pricing?
- Patient reviews (30%) — Google and Yelp combined
- Service range (20%) — how much can they handle in-house?
- Accessibility (20%) — hours, locations, walk-in availability, online booking
#1. Euphora Health — Direct Primary Care MarketCare Score: 96/100
- 📍 Cedar Park & Austin area
- ⭐ 4.9 Google (210 reviews) · 4.5 Yelp (45 reviews)
- 💰 $85–$99/month membership
Euphora tops the list because the model just works. Monthly fee, unlimited visits, same/next-day appointments, no surprise bills. They handle mental health counseling ($67), B12 injections ($25), and in-office tests — all included or listed clearly.
Their reviews are nearly perfect for a reason. People don't leave a good DPC practice. Once you find one that works, you tend to stay.
#2. LaboratoryAssist MarketCare Score: 95/100
- 📍 25+ locations across Austin metro
- ⭐ 4.6 Google (380 reviews)
- 💰 CBC: $5 · Metabolic Panel: $6 · Lipid Panel: $7
This one surprises people until they understand how it works — LaboratoryAssist negotiates wholesale rates with Quest and LabCorp, cuts out insurance billing entirely, and passes the savings through. A full annual wellness panel (CBC + CMP + lipid + TSH + A1C + vitamin D) runs about $45 total. That's $500+ at a hospital lab.
25+ locations, Saturday hours, many tests available without a doctor's order.
#3. Radiology Assist — Austin MarketCare Score: 94/100
- 📍 711 W 38th St, Central Austin
- ⭐ 4.7 Google (290 reviews)
- 💰 MRI from $263 · CT from $130 · X-ray from $33
Best imaging prices in Austin, and it's not close. MRIs at $263–$279 are 50–70% below what hospital-affiliated centers charge. Same equipment, same board-certified radiologist reading your scan, same-day appointments.
If you need imaging, go here first. Check whether your order qualifies.
#4. Texas Direct Medical Care MarketCare Score: 92/100
- 📍 6507 Jester Blvd, Northwest Austin
- ⭐ 4.8 Google (185 reviews)
- 💰 Cholesterol test: $3–$5 · MRI referral: $290
A cholesterol test for $3–$5 is not a misprint. This DPC practice runs on a membership model, and the lab pricing alone is remarkable. ER-experienced staff, same-day urgent care, unlimited call/text/email access.
#5. DirectMed DPC MarketCare Score: 91/100
- 📍 1805 Lohmans Crossing Rd, Lakeway
- ⭐ 5.0 Google (120 reviews) · 5.0 Yelp (28 reviews)
- 💰 Adults: $119/month · Couples: $229/month
The only provider in our database with perfect 5.0 ratings on both Google and Yelp. Functional Medicine and Weight Management specialties. Ideal if you're in the Westlake or West Austin area and want a DPC that leans more integrative.
#6. Texas MedClinic MarketCare Score: 89/100
- 📍 Multiple Austin locations (24/7 at select locations)
- ⭐ 4.4 Google (480 reviews)
- 💰 All-inclusive visit: $225
$225 covers everything most people need at urgent care: exam, labs, X-ray, sutures, EKG. No add-on surprises. 24/7 availability makes it a real late-night alternative to the ER for non-emergencies.
If you think you might need more than a basic look — skip the itemized urgent cares and come here.
#7. People's Community Clinic MarketCare Score: 88/100
- 📍 2909 N I-35, East Austin (+ more locations)
- ⭐ 4.2 Google (350 reviews)
- 💰 Sick visit: $25–$50 · Annual physical: $40–$75
As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), People's uses sliding-scale pricing based on your income. If you're truly low-income, visits start at $25. Comprehensive services: prenatal care, dental, mental health, pediatrics — all under one roof.
#8. Any Lab Test Now MarketCare Score: 87/100
- 📍 3407 Wells Branch Pkwy, North Austin
- ⭐ 4.7 Google (165 reviews)
- 💰 CBC: $49 · STD Panel: $149–$299
Prices are higher than LaboratoryAssist but the convenience is real — no appointment, no doctor's order required for most tests, fast results. Worth it when you need something done same-day without hassle.
#9. AFC Urgent Care MarketCare Score: 86/100
- 📍 North Austin + South Austin
- ⭐ 4.6 Google (340 reviews)
- 💰 Self-pay visit: $125
Straightforward urgent care. Walk-in friendly, evenings and weekends, transparent self-pay pricing. Accepts Medicaid, which puts it ahead of a lot of competitors.
#10. RediClinic (H-E-B) MarketCare Score: 85/100
- 📍 Inside H-E-B stores across Austin
- ⭐ 4.1 Google (210 reviews)
- 💰 Minor illness visit: $79
Cheapest walk-in clinic visit in Austin. Inside H-E-B, so you can grab your prescription and groceries in one trip. NP/PA staffed — not for anything complicated, but for simple straightforward stuff? It's hard to beat $79.
