The steps and their quantities are an illustration that Zavis put together so that the indicative ranges can be added up. They are not a treatment plan: your doctor decides which tests and visits you need. A total is the sum of the lower ends to the sum of the upper ends.
Where a "published prices" link appears, providers publish prices for that procedure, and the link leads to them. The figures on this page stay on Zavis's indicative basis, so that every sum, difference and order is worked out from one kind of figure.
