Default Cost of your FAA medical?

What do you pay for a first class medical?

Mine went from $85 to $185 in six months! I'm curious what others pay.

I just ran into the same issue with my AME, he still has the same magazines from 1999, so that can't be the reason for the price increase. I put together a quick poll here:

The poll is 2 questions, take the poll and the results update live* here:

Why aren't aviation medical exams covered under health insurance. I asked several AME's offices and they laughed at me. Seems like it's a cash cow that needs to be stopped. We've had to much money taken from us for this job, with no return, already!

That's impressive! I thought I was getting a good deal at $55 (no EKG) in the STL area

Hopefully, they don't give you the bill DURING the EKG
