Where Can I Find a Free Clinic? Posted: 06-12-04 07:40am
Hi, i've been needing to go to a gyno for
months now (i think I have vaginitis) but
I have no insurance and no money.
I'm really worried that i'm making more
problems by not going to see a doctor, but
if I do have something wrong with me, how
will I pay for it? Plus, I hope to have a
job by the end of the summer. If I go to
a doctor right now, won't it be a "pre
exsisting condition"? Do insurance
companies cover those?
I was hoping someone could recommend a
free clinic in northern nj. I've looked
online and haven't been able to find
anything.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't know if you have a planned
parenthood nearby, but you should.
Planned parenthood has a sliding scale
when it comes to their rates. You don't
need to have insurance and they charge you
based on what type of income you have. If
you don't have a job, they will charge you
the smallest amount possible. You can
always call and see about how much it
woudl be in your situation before going
in. They take walk-ins and are very
thorough. I urge you to go, your health
is depending on it. You say you are
looking for one in northern nj. You can
go to plannedparenthood.Org and look under
locations. To me it looks like they have
quite a lot:
