The ER, anyone?!


Question: The ER, anyone!?
how expensive can it be to go if you have no health care!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Depends on the problem!. ER stands for emergency room!. If your having a life threatening emergency that is the place to go!. If not, find a family physician!. Usually urgent care centers charge much less than a trip to the emergency room!. Most visits to an ER result in a full work up that can cost thousands of dollars!. Factoring, radiology, laboratory and physician fees!.
I am not sure what you mean by no health care!. I believe your referring that you have no health insurance!? Again, obtaining a family physician, possibly through a county clinic, might be the best way!. Usually county clinics have pay scales based on income!. If you have no means to pay they can refer you to case worker for public assistance, such as Medicaid!.
I am not sure I have answered your question, but I hope you find the care that you need!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In the US in major cities it can be hundreds or even thousands of dollars depending on the hospital and the nature of your visit!.
