Question :
I injured my neck about 2 months ago( my cousin slammed me head first into the ground) and I couldn't move it for 3 days. Ever since then I've been getting shooting pains that radiate down to my shoulder, the base of the discomfort is at the top point of my spine, behind my neck. My neck also cracks REALLY loud now and I can feel what seems like loose cartilage back there but idk what it is. I've been having VERY bad dizzy spells lately, 3-4 times a day so I think the injury may have caused vertigo. Ok to my point- I am on unemployment do 4 months now an have NO insurance. Do ER's offer emergent MediCal ins?
Answers :
1.You don't automatically qualify for welfare health insurance (Medi-Cal), so if you go to get treated, they'll give you an application, and you fill it out. If it turns out you don't get approved, you get billed.
2.An ER is your MOST EXPENSIVE option. Don't go there unless it's really an emergency. Find a community health clinic or urgent care clinic and start by getting it examined.
3.Your options are :
a) to bring money to anywhere that this can be treated that is not an emergency room, and pay a reasonable price, or
b) to go to an emergency room and have to pay approximately 10 times as much later.
