orthopedic evaluation?

Question

I've been told that I need an Orthopedic evaluation for a job that I am applying for. I've also been told that the services will come out of my own pocket! I don't have insurance or a Doctor, so I'm not quite sure what to do. How much will this cost and where do I find someone who will do it without insurance? I live in St. Louis, MO!!

Answer 1

I would find another job or let them know in no uncertain terms that the test has to be on them. And get that in writing!

Answer 2

What kind of job do you do that you require an orthopedic eval? Usually pre-employment physicals consists of a general check up and drug screening.
Where I live, in California, if the employer requires pre-employment physicals it's their responsibility to cover the costs. I wasn't aware that employers anywhere could require prospective employees to pay for their own physicals.
I would call your local employment opportunity office and check this out.
Sounds bogus to me.
