With child support and debts taking all my income, how does one TODAY recieve immediate medical attention for a changing mole which meets all the criteria for needing immediate attention? I have no savings or health insurance. I’ve stopped into 2 doctor’s offices to inquire, and was told by both that they don’t “do payment plans.”
I was quoted an estimate of $1,000.00 for the initial visit/consultation, biopsy, and lab fees.
Many creditors agree to payment plans; why is it that the medical community doesn’t?
I went to the Whitman-Walker Clinic, and was told that they couldn’t see me for two months! Two months is too long to wait when one suspects melanoma!
The receptionist at one doctor’s office gave me the tip to show-up at the Sibley Hospital ER, and tell them that my ID had been stolen – and give a fake name and address before recieving medical care. That way I’d get care, but not have to worry about the bill. I wish I could do that, but that’s not my style!
What is one left to do when one has a condition/situation which needs immediate attention, but not the means to pay for it immediately?
HELP!
I don’t expect the White House to help me, but hope that a situation such as mine will be taken into account when formulating Obama Care, et al…
