Please tell me, could a free clinic do an dvt ultrasound?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not in the clinic: Most free clinics are not capable of doing a DVT ultrasound but they can refer you to a diagnostic facility or an hospital out patient department whwre it can be done and may be done under charity care if you qualify for charity care.Discuss the options with the doctors at the free clinic as they have the knowledge where it can be done only if it is medically indicated.

Maybe: Free clinics usually do not have the ability to do specialized testing. However, if you are worried about a dvt, you should go to an emergency room and be evaluated. You may also want to contact a free clinic near you to see if they can do the ultrasound.
