Need to visit a low-cost clinic/doctor that accepts the uninsured (Seattle: health insurance, buy)

[usernametaken]

I have no health insurance and recently moved to Seattle. Been coughing in the mornings lately and getting some blood in my cough. Same thing happened a few months ago.

Does anyone know of a good quality place that accepts and gives discounts to the uninsured? I don't care if it is a private practice, community clinic or lung related research center.

Thanks.

Buy private health insurance, if you can. It'll cost you as much as a doctor's visit for a month. We are lucky to live in a state with affordable private plans.

There's a website: ehealthinsurance, that will help you compare plans. You should really consider it. One visit to a specialist can cost you $200-$400. One visit to the hospital and you'll be in debt for a while.

Country Doctor, Odessa Brown, and the 45th St clinic are good community clinics within Seattle.
Outside of the city, the Healthpoint clinics are awesome. They're in Kent, Renton, Redmond? and a few other places, twelve clinics in all. All of these will treat you whether or not you have insurance, and charge on a sliding scale fee based on your income.

Seconding the Country Doctor choice.

If you still are having trouble, call Group Health during business hours at 206-326-3530 and ask them about community clinics and they'll point you in the right direction.

Hey, you should check out Sprig Health. They just launched in Seattle like a month ago, it's a good way to book a doctors appointment if you don't have insurance or want to pay cash.

I bet you can find what you're looking for on there. Moderator cut: link removed
