I don't have insurance, how much will these tests cost me?

Question

I went to Mercy Urgent Care because I heard it's far less expensive than the ER. I went for shortness of breath, they did an X-ray (front and side view), blood work to check my blood count, and an EKG. I don't have health insurance. I wouldn't of gone if I wasn't having trouble breathing for 6 days. I was diagnosed with pneumonia. So I had to go.

Does anyone know approximately how much all that is going to cost me?

chest x ray

EKG

Blood work

Answer 1

A lot.  Apply for some assistance if you can not handle the bill or agree to make payments.   Next time try a local free clinic.

Answer 2

Too much. It varys with the hospital and I don't know Mercy's costs specifically. Do you qualify for MediCal or MediCare? It won't help you now if you do and don't have it already but it would be a good thing if something happens in the future. When you get the bill, call the hospital to see if you can negotiate of if someone can assist you.
