Where Can I Go for Medical Care Without Insurance?

Seeking medical care without insurance can be a big worry for many people.

✅Medicaid - Medicaid is a program in the United States that helps provide health coverage to low-income individuals.

✅Charity Care - To qualify for charity care, patients usually have to meet certain criteria based on their household income and other financial factors.

✅Community Health Clinics - These clinics are a lifeline for those who don’t have insurance, providing essential medical services without any barriers.

✅Urgent Care Centers - They offer immediate medical attention for various non-life-threatening conditions, making healthcare services easily accessible outside of traditional hospital settings.

✅Free Clinics for the Uninsured - These clinics play a vital role in meeting the healthcare needs of uninsured individuals by providing a range of services, from preventive care to specialized treatments, without the burden of financial constraints.

👉 A simple throat swab test detects strep. The back of the throat is swabbed then the swab is tested for the presence of Group A Strep. A rapid test provides quick, in-office results. If the rapid test is negative but the symptoms point to strep, a lab culture test can offer a more accurate result.
