No, the Term Free Medical Care is not a misprint, and yes you can get this care if you are not employed or covered by any major health provider.

The huge debate about healthcare and what we should do to improve our broken system are forefront in everyone’s minds right now.

Yes, there really are some free options that most are not aware of. Some are well kept secrets that take an insider’s knowledge and or hours of research and knowing just where to look, so that’s why I’m wrapping up some simple solutions for you for free. Not everyone has the resources or time necessary to do research yourself and often many don’t know where to look.

I want you to have this.

Discover what’s available to you.  

Did you know that there are Medical Centers that are free for you? I had no idea until I became involved in insurance and healthcare.  

What types of treatment do they cover?  

Just like a hospital you pay for, these are, they are a fully staffed licensed and functional Medical Centers or clinics.  

Just how does this free clinic work?

This is often a government funded medical center, so if you do go you may have to wait depending on your health concern.  It’s a first come first serve basis, so if possible go early in the day.

Side note: Bring something to read or do while you wait it can take some time depending on how busy they are.  

Here are key tips to make your visit smoother:

 Bring any medical information you can

 

The next day or two,  call to make sure that you don’t need to do anything additional for the paperwork, request a copy go to your current doctor.

However, if you need continual follow up with these doctors be sure to follow the tips for getting the best service at these clinics. Having an friendly relationship with them will go a long way.  

If you are facing an emergency and need to take an ambulance, be sure to tell the Medics to take you to a free clinic if the one in your area has an Emergency Room.  

How do you get the best service at these clinics?  These clinics work with a number of people day in and day out so let’s make sure you get the best care possible.

Pause for just a second and look around you, can you tell what kind of activity is going on?

In other words look for indications to see if they are currently working with an emergency case. If you see staff rushing about it’s likely that they’ll need to give this case more attention if you are not also in the emergency room.  

Tip: Save your self a headache if you can wait for treatment then you might consider coming back when they’re less busy.  

Hard but Important: To help your situation you’ll have to do something hard, set aside what you are feeling right now and think for a moment about what the staff behind the counter might be facing. When you speak to them let them know that you can see just how very busy they are.

Talk to them like a person not just someone to help you get something done. This will make the process so much smoother for you.
