   The "bottom line" cost of shingles would vary depending on the severity of your condition, your insurance benefits, and where you seek treatment.   Most forms of shingles, which have been known to reoccur for years in some cases, are treated with medications.  As long as you are insured, the cost for your treatment would be equal to the cost of your doctor visits combined with the copayment for your medications. If you are uninsured, you can find a doctor to see you for less than $60 in most cases, or consider trying telemedicine, where a visit can cost $30 or less. Once your medication has been prescribed, try www.GoodRx.com to find the lowest priced available in your local area for the medication you need. For a minor case of shingles, you can often be treated for less than $100 total. Major cases, that reoccur for years, can cost many times that amount.
