I got an appointment at another clinic. They said I have to get a physical there before becoming a new patient and the earliest appointment I could get is August 3rd, wow, lol. I informed the lady I spoke with that I have no income or insurance. She said I will just need to bring a notarized letter from Scott stating that I live here and I am not working. They have a sliding scale fee program that I may be eligible for and even facilitated health insurance enrollers on-site who may be able to register me for low-cost or no-cost health insurance. So, I got my fingers crossed. My main worry right now is if they want to charge me for that initial physical because I have no money at all. I have been in email with a lady from their office and she responded with this response when I asked would I need to pay for the physical - "Usually you are expected to render payment at the time of your visit but if you are unable to, you do have the option to be billed." I am trying to remain positive and hope that this is a place for me to have medical care from now on. Wish me luck.

Good luck. Health care is very important, and I will have my fingers crossed for you.

Good luck! I'd call every few days and see if there are openings

Maybe your family can help you out? Good luck with your visit.

Thanks so much ladies.

beerab - The recepitionist I spoke with told me if they had an opening sooner she would give me a call but I will call as well, thanks for the suggestion

Congrats on finding another clinic. I hope it all goes well.

Thanks Roxy

Best of luck hope everything goes well for you x

crossing fingers for you!!!

I hope it goes well too! I really wish that it wasn't so hard to get health care for the uninsured. Hopefully that situation will improve soon.

Thanks so much y'all

YW! Yeah call me an annoying patient I still call because they are so busy they rarely take the time to call and say "oh yeah we DO have an opening!"

Hope this works out for you.

Even with insurance, we pay a fortune to go to the dr. On top of our now $30 co-pay, there is a 20% co-charge of anything that is done and the appointment fee. Its sad to think we pay over 700 a month to have this insurance

Wow, that is nuts

OMG....that is just so incredibly wrong!!!
You guys should move to Canada!
