i need to see a doctor but have no insurance...where can i go?

Answer 1

A lot of cities have clinics that provide free or sliding scale services. One in our area is Visiting Nurse Assoc. Call hospitals to see if they have any places they could refer you to.

Answer 2

You should get help, and you can probably get help for free or at a discounted price. At worst, you can work out a deal with the hospital or medical facility where you can make periodic payments. You might want to keep a diary of your medical problems so you will be better prepared when you see a doctor.

I’ve included links below to a free clinic directory, the Bureau of Primary Health Care that can help you locate country and state health departments, and a page listing Medicaid state sites. Health insurance is usually less expensive as part of group health plan, so you should try and find work that will help you pay for health insurance. I’ve also included links to Needy Meds and Partnership for Prescription Assistance, both of which have information on how to get financial assistance in buying prescription medication. Needy Meds also has information medical assistance programs categorized by state, federal, private, and disease/condition.

When you can afford your own private plan, try MostChoice.com. You can look up free insurance rates and talk with more than one local insurance agent. There’s no cost or obligation to buy anything from anyone, and you might be surprised to find that insurance is more affordable than you think. Some plans are $60 a month and include preventive care such as routine doctor visits.

I do not know about where you live but our hospital has a policy about they cannot turn you away because of an inability to pay. Also, we have a County Health Office that can treat patients free or very very cheap, so you may check your local phone book for your county's Health Unit or call the hospital and ask about your options, your health is nothing to mess with because you cannot afford to pay. There has to be something available in your area.
