Access at Northwest Community

I lost my job recently and currently don’ t have insurance. I have been sick and was referred to Access of Northwest Community by the financial counselor at Northwest Community Hospital. Access charges are on a sliding scale. I was approved to pay $ 30.00 for doctors visits. At about 9:20 am they called me because another patient was running late. I saw this American doctor and she asked me questions about my health etc. She could not figure why I have had this cough for over a month. She said maybe you should go to an allergist etc. While she was on the computer she noticed I had no insurance. All of a sudden her demeanor changed. She was rude and said come back when you have insurance. She walked out and didn’t say if our consultation was over. NOTHING…I was just left there… I didn’t know if she was coming back or what. After a few minutes I left. I went to the front paid $ 30.00 for NOTHING and left. This doctor was the rudest doctor I have ever met. If I HAD insurance I would not be going there. That would be the LAST place I would go. I feel bad for the patients that don’t have insurance or Medicaid. It is sad how you are treated if you don’t have insurance. Doesn’t this doctor know that the majority of patients that go to Access don’t have insurance or are on Medicaid. I don’t think she knows this.
