Can you go to the ER if you do not have health insurance? |
My friend broke his leg and he does not have health insurance. He will not go to the doctor and he is in so much pain. what can he do? He needs to see a doctor. Most ERs and some doctors offices will see patients without insurance. Its expensive but most places will take people without insurance as self-pay clients and most hospitals and clinics offer payment plans to pay for services. Emergency Room's can not turn away any patient, for any reason, including inability to pay. It's the law that they have to accept any patient who comes in. He needs to go, he could even get an infection, and his leg might heal incorrectly and then he'll have way more problems. Some hospitals even have programs to help people pay for their medical bills if they can't afford it. Go to a County Hospital, because they cannot deny you medical assistance if you have no health coverage (it's the law). Good Luck , and hope he gets better quickly. God Bless. Go to the Doctor yes, hospital ER's must treat you, plus many get state and federal money to treat uninsured patients, often you just fill out a form to have the bill written off. if you live in a large city, with more then one hospital, you might call around to see which one is the public hospital,,,, yes. yes you can't be denied medical attention because of no insurence. They have people that can help you with that or something called a sliding scale. Depending on how much you make is how much you pay. No ER can turn a person away from treatment....that is the law.....your friend needs to go to the ER to have his leg looked at and treated if it is broken....he can always work out a payment plan later on with the hospital...but he needs to be seen and worry about insurance stuff later.....so I highly suggest you get him to go...and if he did break his leg and it isnt set properly he can be looking at a host of problems including loss of limb down the road if circulation is compromised |
