I Need to Find a Lady OB GYN Who Will See Me Without Insurance and Take Payments
I don't have insurance, am 45 and am having female issues that need attention. I need a yearly paps and need to find out what is wrong. I was quoted 353 dollars for the visit and paps and she did not even think that included the lab that checks out the results of the paps, not to mention, even getting to the female issues. Does anyone have any suggestions. I am in the Keller area and husband makes a fairly decent living, we just have more bills than money. Thanks for any and all suggestions.

You could try calling some of the local midwives, I know some of them do annual visits as well as the typical prenatal/birth stuff you would expect.

What about getting a Unicare plan for just you? They are pretty cheap but with good coverage. We had to get one for my daughter for a couple years and it was wonderful. Rates were low (it was about $50/month) and covered everything a regular insurance plan would.
I don't know about taking payments but as others mentioned almost any Dr/office will take discounts when you pay out of pocket you just have to ask.

Hi K. -
I just responded about the fiber and MonaVie, but I also saw this posting. I have a friend that may be able to help you with health insurance. She is very caring and will do everything she can to find a plan for you - she only works with individuals and really small businesses. Her name is Lou Ann thomas and her number is ###-###-####. Let her know I sent you - she is also a fan of MonaVie!

I recommend using AmeriPlan. It's not insurance but discount medical - the negotiating for a lower cost has already been arranged by contract with AmeriPlan for members. Carla Tabbs, MD in North Richland Hills is an OB/GYN specialist on their provider list. You can get a medical plan for only $30/month or a medical plan that includes dental, prescriptions and chiropractic care for only $10 more/month. This includes everyone in your household, not per person. Discounts range from 25% to 50% and up to 80% on lab and dental. I use it and I really like the money I save. Check them out at www.Dental80off.com or call 1-800-324-0452. Hope this helps.
