My insurance do not pay for check ups, and my 9 m old baby never had this visits, cost $ 230. What should I d

Question

My health care insurance do not pay for well being visits, so, my 9 months old doughtier never had been to the doctor for regular checkup. Even without the shuts it cost each visit would cost $ 230. I can not afford to pay for one visit. I take her for shots to Public health department as we are qualifying as "under insured" and I am paying nut that much for shuts. I am reading and checking if my baby is growing and developing according to guidelines in the books for baby her age. I still wonder if there is any place or low that can help me to solve this problem with my insurance not paying and me not being able to take my baby for checkups.

Is there any place the I can take her.

Answer 1

Why don't you call your local social services and see if they can give you some info? I think Americans need to DEMAND universal health care from their government. Where I live health care is free. I cannot imagine having to worry about if we could afford for my baby to go to the doctor. That's sad. I hope you find some help. Keep looking, I'm sure there's got to be something in place for people with babies who can't afford a doctor. Don't you guys have a "medicaid" system? Can you get that?

Answer 2

Since you are under insured I would consider checking on State aid  your child needs well baby visits It is an important part of her health.  Or even check about getting on a payment plan at your local clinic that would even be better than not taking her or him to his check ups.

Answer 3

try to apply your little one to Medicaid.  they pay for everything and will cove baby up to 5 years old. good luck

Answer 4

God, all that stuff is free here in Australia. I never paid for any checkups or shots ever, despite having two incomes. America must have the worst health care system in any developed country. Surely you guys must have some sort of free clinics to take your baby to?  

Answer 5

THE MEDICAL HAS A PROGRAM  CALLED CHDP THAT COVERS FOR IMMUNIZATIONS AND PHYSICALS FOR CHILDREN UNTIL THE AGE OF 18
