How can I make a doctor's apointment somewhere without telling my parents?

I'm 21, I need to go to the doctor's like NOW. I am on my parents' insurance but I cannot let them know about this doctor's visit, and I'm also kinda broke. What do I do? Call different doctors' offices to see if they take my insurance? Will I still have to pay some even if they do take it? And will my parents see it on the insurance?|||As long as you are medicinally covered by their insurance (make sure you check with the clinic or office of choice) then no you should not have to pay a cent AND any visit you have with the doctor is 100% confidential. They cannot disclose any information to anyone about your visits etc, even family, without your consent, and even then I think YOU have to tell them. It's part of the Hippocratic oath.


Just call up the nearest walk-in clinic or a medical office that you know your parents go to and ask them if you are covered by the insurance you have and make an appointment. I wouldnt worry about your parents knowing about it, it will not show up on the insurance as YOU HAD AN APPT, it will just show as norm that you are covered.


It's important to go to the doctor for checkups etc. Just make a few calls and your on your way.


hope that helps!|||IF SHE USES HER PARENTS INSURANCE HER VISIT WILL SHOW UP ON THE BILL THAT IS MAILED TO HER PARENTS.(ITS USUALLY A TELL ALL) AND THOUGH SHE DOESNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE DOCTORS TELLING HER PARENTS WHAT THE VISIT WAS FOR BECAUSE OF THE BILL IM SURE THEY WILL ASK.PREGGO? TRY PLANNED PARENTHOOD.

|||Why do you need to be seen? I would assume a private matter you don't want talked about. You are over 18 so any visit details will be private, but they will still get a bill. Details may be listed on the bill or they may not. You would have to talk to the billing department at each clinic.





If you have concerns for private issue related to sexual health you can find a clinic in most big cities that will see you such as planned parenthood etc.





You could go to a free clinic and show proof of income and they can offer you care at free or cheap. It would be something to think about as well.





Also, you could do an urgent care or emergency room. All clinics and hospitals that are part of larger public systems like universities or counties will give you a break, set up a payment plan etc so you don't have to pay upfront or all at once.





If you are 21 and feel like you can't talk to your parents about adult matters, you should rethink this. It isn't healthy at 21 to be afraid to tell your parents the truth about your health needs. If you are needing adult care because of adult acts you may be engaged in, then you need to be adult about your healthcare needs.





Good luck!|||If you use your parents' insurance, they will *for sure* see evidence of a doctor's visit.





If your problem is gynecological...I'd highly recommend Planned Parenthood. They are confidential, reasonably priced, and cover the full range of women's health services.





Your only other option would be to pay cash at a walk in clinic...but usually you have to fill out paperwork giving your closest relative as an emergency contact.|||Since your above 21 you can technically go to the doctor and they can't legally say anything to your parents.





As for insurance, just be like you wanted to go for a physical or something and just lie to them .|||Either use the insurance or pay an office visit.|||as long as you tell your doctor you dont want your parents to find out he can not legally tell them without ur permission now on the other hand when the bills come in at the end of the month u may be in trouble|||Find someone you trust and let them take you..otherwise I don't know about the insurance part.
