了。我想找个大夫拍个片子检查一下，但是在这里没有带老人看过医生，完全没有头绪
应该去哪儿看。 主要很反感那种事后给寄天价账单的医院或诊所。
我妈妈向来身体非常健康，精力充沛， 来之前还做了一系列健康检查都挺好。
5月底才来打算呆半年的，我怕越拖越严重，得诊断一下才放心。
谢谢大家！ | g*****A

Fees and Insurance
We believe that quality health care should be available to everyone,
regardless of ability to pay. We accept Provider One and most types of
insurance. Payment for services or proof of insurance is expected at time of
service. This includes co-pays. We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard,
American Express and Discover.
We ask all uninsured patients to meet with an Eligibility Specialist to
determine if they are eligible for public insurance through Washington
Healthplanfinder or a sliding fee discount from Neighborcare Health.
The sliding fee discount is available for low-income patients who are not
eligible for public insurance. To qualify, a patient must meet with an
Eligibility Specialist at one of our clinics. Once a patient qualifies for a
sliding fee discount, the minimum fee for a medical appointment is $20. The
minimum fee for a dental appointment is $45. We offer an additional $5
discount if the fee is paid at the time of your appointment.
If you are uninsured and choose not to apply for public insurance or the
sliding fee discount, we ask you to pay a deposit to defray the initial cost
of your care. The medical ($80) and dental ($90) deposit will be discounted
to $75 and $85, if paid at the time of service.
Neighborcare Health patients are billed directly by LabCorp for any lab
tests and services, and are responsible for paying LabCorp directly.
Neighborcare Health informs LabCorp directly if a patient is eligible for
the sliding fee discount.
Patients with questions or concerns about a current bill are welcome to
contact our patient accounts department at 206-548-3100. | l*******2

父母没有收入都可以申请sliding fee, 这样就每次15 的copay， 好处在于
一直看一个医生，而且有病案，相当于自己的家庭医生了。
如果只是看一次，不需要长期看，可以选择free clinic 网址

Bellevue, Lake City, and Renton.

这个免费诊所，如果医生认为你需要简单x-ray，他们开的处方可以到合作医院免费检
查。 | h*****u

发帖数: 5103 | 12 觉得有个观念必须澄清：美国看病不是 one-stop shopping，不是你走进一个门，付一
笔账单就 ok 了的。至少我个人的经验于理解与保险是这样的。
通常給你看病问诊开处方的是一个医生，做检验的是另一个单位，他们各有各的收费。
好像有些情形下，检验的 facility 属于第三方，或者做手术的又属于另一个单位，一
趟病下
来你会收到三四个单位的账单。
所以戏班常有人问哪里有免费看病的，或者 “明码标价” 的？其实是白问。能够免费
或明码标价的都是第一道问诊的医生，至于后面的做检查的、做化验的、出设备的，你
搞都搞不清楚！（有一次帮朋友打电话查询做肠镜的价格，先是问开诊断的医生，然后
被指引到另一个医疗中心，实际做检查的地方。于是我就去问医疗中心的价格，但他们
只能給我他们技师的收费，至于那 facility 使用费，要问第三个单位！3）
还有，说不说中文也是一样。第一道问诊的医生有很多说中文的，或者可以提供中文翻
译。（好像某些大型的医疗中心，例如 Overlake, Renten medical center 这些地方
，法律规定必须免费提供患者中文翻译。反正我亲眼看见两次免费中文翻译，都是院方
帮忙联络的。）但这只是第一道闻诊医生那里，接下来真正做检查的技师就没有这服务
了，例如做肠镜的，MRI 的，CT 的等等，你会要去另一个地方做，而那里就没有中文
翻译了。
以上是我的理解，可能有错。 |
