What would happen if i become ill while visiting the us from the uk and i have no health insurance? This is something that is supposed to be used as a last resort. If you are sick go to a hospital. They cannot turn you down due to lack of insurance or inability to pay. When they give you the legal form to fill out, cross off the part that says you have insurance, and clearly write on there that you have no means to pay. Make sure you tell them upfront about your inability to pay also. They may send you a bill, but will quickly give up because if you have stated you have no insurance and no means to pay, they have no legal recourse to collect from you. You will have to pay for your medications once released from the hospital though, and soetimes those can be expensive. Before being discharged, ask for medicine samples, that way you don't have to pay any out of pocket costs. I hope you don't get sick! Source(s): Volunteered in hospital administration If you needed medical assistance, and had no insurance, you would need to pay...before they treated you, and in the USA medical costs are outrageous. take out medical insurance, its a tiny cost compared to even one appointment with a doc, let alone a hospital. You would die. if u were on the verged of dieing they would have to c u but if u were just sick they probley wouldnt If you have an emergency, any emergency room has to treat you by federal law. Enjoy your trip and I hope you don't need this info! US Hospitals are required to provide emergency service. You would be billed at your residence shortly afterwards. A payment plan could then be decided or you can tell them to kiss your ****. |
