The most common response I receive from my clients is, \u201cHow am I supposed to see a doctor or go to the hospital if I don\u2019t have any money or insurance?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is a valid point. In fact, lack of money or health insurance to see a doctor is a legitimate excuse for not seeking medical attention. However, this argument does not go very far with many Long Term Disability<\/a> or Social Security Disability<\/a> claims representatives or an Administrative Law Judge.<\/p>\r\n

The number one reason the argument can only go so far is that there are usually a number of free or low-cost clinics available to individuals that qualify. There is usually a screening process to determine whether the prospective patient qualifies for the care. In short, free or low-cost medical care is only available to low-income and uninsured individuals. These clinics may see patients for free, or for as little as $5.00.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
