In the USA, paying for a doctor’s visit can depend on whether you have health insurance or not. If you have health insurance, your insurance company will usually pay for part of the cost of your visit. You might have to pay a small amount called a copay when you go to the doctor. To find out exactly what your insurance will pay for, you can call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card. Your insurance company might have also sent you a booklet with this information.
If you do not have health insurance, paying for a doctor’s visit can be more expensive. In this case, I recommend you contact your local health department. They can help you find places where you can get medical care, sometimes for free or at a lower cost. It’s important to get the care you need, so don’t be afraid to reach out for help.
