and the answer to your question Spuggie, is No it doesn't.
Remedies are relatively cheap, it is the time taken by the homeopath that costs the money......a consultation will on average last one and a half hours....then of course the homeopath has to go away and analyse the findings, seek out the appropriate remedy, and then prescribe it.
It won't be like a visit to your GP(an average time consultation is just 7 minutes) where he/she is writing you a prescription as you sit down.
