When you don’t have health insurance, seeking medical care can seem like a daunting prospect. One common question is, “How much does a doctor’s visit cost without insurance?” You might be wondering where to go. Fortunately, there are ways to access high quality doctor visits and healthcare services even for people with no health insurance coverage.
Direct Primary Care
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an alternative healthcare model that shares similarities with doctors who operate on a cash – only basis. However, unlike the higher per visit costs associated with cash-only doctors, DPC is structured with predictable and affordable monthly rates, making it a more accessible option for individuals without insurance.
For people without insurance who are looking for transparent pricing, DPC doctors let patients know exactly what they’re paying for.
Most doctors opt to do Direct Primary Care (DPC) because it allows them to prioritize the doctor – patient relationship and provide higher quality care by being able to spend more time with their patients and on their patient’s care.
Free Clinics and Department of Health Resources
You can check for your local department of health and free clinics which often offer preventative services at minimal or no cost. Patients can often get access to mammogram screening, colorectal screening, vaccinations, and other screenings.
