A member asked:
Would it be possible that a hospital refuse to treat an uninsured patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Family practice : They will not refuse to treat you. But if able to be treated as an outpatient they may do what is necessary and then refer you to a county clinic for follow up care. You will be admitted if needed. You will be responsible for any charges but many times you will be able to negotiate with the hospital on the bill.
