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.
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
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
OT - Doctor appointment
