What do you need to get medical care/referral at a walk in health center/clinic?
Question:
I have medical insurance, and access to my insurance card.
I would go to my normal doctor, but my parents refuse to take me. I am considering going to a walk in medical clinic near my area.
Starting from when I was ... 13, I sometimes got very dizzy when I stood up suddenly. Also, I was pretty thirsty and urinate frequently. Now I get hives all over my body when I exercise and when it gets hot. I've also noticed I cough up a lot of Flem, and have some problems swallowing.
The impact of all of this has left me very tired. I sleep around 6-8 hours a night and still am extremely tired during the day.
I need help, and my parents just accuse me of being a hypochondriac. ... Everything has gotten worse and I am concerned for myself.
What would I need to get help at a walk-in medical clinic?
I'm guessing I just need my insurance card and ID?
Would my parents get the bill?
... Talking with my parents will not help, they mock me when I try.
Answers:
If you go to a walk-in clinic- and your insurance doesn't cover everything your parents will get the bill. Also- since you are not 18 the Drs at the clinic can deny seeing you with out a parent present. I imagine that you need to get a annual phyiscal - perhaps suggest that to your parents. If you are able to get to a dr- make sure you tell them everything. Keep a log of anything and everything you feel.
you can just walk in a free clinic i think
not sure
