I'm sick with no insurance...cold, sinus problems, sore throat, etc. Need to go somewhere that won't cost a fortune. Any ideas? Thanks. 4951

Take a cold and flu med, some tylenol and get some throat lozengers.  Why do you need to go to the doctor for a cold? 4951

@kingwooddiscgolf: maybe she is staying home from work and they require a doctor's note?

@CarlSala: Some people aren't lucky enough to be able to pay for their own insurance.  Besides, that has nothing to do with the OP's question

NexCare on northpark towards the highway. Pay them 50 a year to become a card member then anytime you need to go in its 80 buck flat fee if no test or shots are needed and 135 flat fee no matter what is needed.If you dont want to be a card member it cost about the same as most urgent care...to be see you are probably looking at close to 200(so better and cheaper to get the card)If its a matter of life and death go to the ER I believe(of course laws are changing daily)they still must treat you regardless if you can pay. I dont suggest this for a stupid cold or tummy ache but dont let yourself die for fear of payment. 4951

@kingwooddiscgolf: many would say that for a headache but a bad headache in my case ends up being the final 12 hours to death meningitis flare up. I have reoccurring meningitis...the first time I had an episode(7 years ago) I thought I had worst migraine ever till my body collapsed and I couldn't move. By the time I got to the hospital I remember nothing till 3 days later when I woke up in quarantine being told by my nurse another 12 hours I would have probably been dead or so far gone they couldn't do anything for me.In most cases colds or flu or head/tummy aches can go untreated by a doc but no one should ever have to suffer and not know what they have due to money. I find in most cases people DONT want to go see a doc so if they are coming on a forum asking for suggestions they probably are feeling pretty darn bad!

HEB does take the uninsured , its not pricey to be seen but if they do a strep or flu culture or x rays or anything it turns pricey fast. Thats why I like NexCare....if they have to do all that if your a card member you will never pay more than 135. I know when I go in it will never cost me more....no surprises. If they think your too sick for basic care they will send you to the ER. My last episode she looked at me and said Im not touching you so I dont have to charge you, go to the ER now. She probably saved my life. 4951

I use Nextcare on Northpark, by Shipley's.  It is $65 or $75.  That includes seeing a doc, getting an RX, or shots or XRay's.  That is what I always pay.  I have insurance, and a primary care doc.  
 
@Fallon: They must be using some of your insurance because its a little more Out Of Pocket with no insurance but for the price and urgent care facility Im also very pleased with their care.

OP didnt say they had meningitis or a migraine or 12 hours to a near death experience.
