Doctors visit with no insurance?

Question

does anyone know how much it would cost to just have a "check up" or just a talk with my doctor without insurance...i cant have my parents finding out so i cannot use their insurance card or anything...any clues?

Answer 1

A c**p load of money. Most likely around 100 dollars.

With insurance probably 20 dollars.  

Answer 2

look for a free clinic in your area

Answer 3

Call your doctors office and explain the situation to them. I am sure they will want you to get the help you need above anything else, so maybe they will be willing to work with you on a payment plan.

If you do use your insurance, by law your doctor cannot tell your parents what you discuss, but they will receive a statement called and EOB from the insurance co. in the mail (also by law) so they will know you have been to the doctor.

Really, consider talking to your parents about this. Even though it may be embarrassing, I am sure they love you and want you to get help if you need it.

Answer 4

just talk to the doctor  

Answer 5

You cheapest option is your local health dept. or Planned Parenthood.

A typical visit runs $50-80.  If you can't pay all up front, ask for a payment plan and they'll work out something for you.

Answer 6

I am guessing since you don't want your parents finding out it is a sexually related matter. Try Planned Parenthood if it is, very cheap or free. You can use your parents insurance card. A medical professional cannot disclose any information that you do not want disclosed. This is a violation of HIPPA. The fine for a professional is (I believe)100,000$ first time. The fine for the institution the provider works for is $100,000. So you see, a huge incentive is in place for health care providers to keep your medical secrets secret.

Answer 7

about a 125.00 just to walk into their office

Answer 8

umm doctor visits are very costly
