It's not a high amount for that type of service. I was referring to the ability to pay the entirety of it, presumably up front, and the willingness to do so in some cases despite having insurance.
The more significant of the two points I made was the type of cases he could possibly be seeing. The article refers to only the most basic of equipment such as an otoscope, no mention of a lab (for blood chemistry, bacterial tests, etc), so it's hard to see how he could handle only the absolute simplest of cases.
Essentially he is practicing medicine the way it was done in a previous era. It's not really "innovative", a better term would be "retro" or "throwback".
