Ask for the complete cost before scheduling
Ask the office about the visit fee, accepted payment methods, and whether testing or outside services would be billed separately. Published prices from another service do not establish the cost of a Salome Sutter, FNP visit. Confirm current terms directly.
Explore community options
HRSA-supported health centers offer care to people with or without insurance. Charges may be based on a sliding scale. Contact a center directly to ask about eligibility, required documents, appointment availability, and the services you need.
Understand DPC separately
A DPC membership is not health insurance. Ask for the current agreement and review included services, exclusions, extra charges, and cancellation terms. Do not assume a membership covers hospital care or every visit type.
Do not delay an emergency because of cost
Under EMTALA, hospital emergency departments that receive Medicare funds, which includes most U.S. hospitals, must offer an appropriate medical screening exam and, if you have an emergency condition, stabilizing treatment or an appropriate transfer, whether or not you have insurance or can pay. These protections do not make the care free. Call 911 for an emergency; ask the facility about billing or financial assistance afterward.
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not wait for a routine appointment, phone call back or email reply.
