What To Do When You Need To See a Doctor but Don’t Have Insurance

Although a doctor’s visit can be costly if you don’t have insurance, there are ways to see your doctor at an affordable price. Some ways include utilizing government benefits, using free clinics, or community health centers. The out-of-pocket cost for a doctor’s visit ranges between $70 - $250, but oftentimes it is much more than this due to additional testing, procedures, and administrative fees.
