La Familia Health Clinic Laredo

Clear Guidance for Self-Pay Patients

Not having insurance should not prevent you from asking about care. La Familia Health Clinic offers information for patients who plan to pay directly. Contact us before your visit for current pricing and an estimate based on the service you expect to receive.

How Self-Pay Visits Work

1. Tell our team that you will be paying without insurance.

2. Describe the type of visit or service you expect to need.

3. Ask for the current self-pay estimate and payment policy.

4. Bring identification, medication information, and any required forms.

5. Ask questions before agreeing to additional tests or services.

What May Affect the Final Cost

The type and complexity of the visit
Tests, vaccines, procedures, or supplies provided
Whether specimens or services are sent to an outside laboratory or provider
Any follow-up care or additional evaluation recommended
Changes in the patient’s condition or care needs during the visit

ESTIMATES AND FINAL CHARGES

An estimate is based on the information available before care is provided. The final amount may change if the clinician recommends additional services or if an outside organization bills separately. Ask which charges are included before proceeding.

When the Emergency Room Is the Right Choice

Clinic-based care may be appropriate for many routine or minor concerns, but it is not a substitute for emergency treatment. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for symptoms such as:

Severe trouble breathing
Severe chest pain, fainting, or collapse
Uncontrolled or heavy bleeding
Major trauma or a serious injury
Sudden weakness, confusion, or difficulty speaking
Any symptom that appears immediately life-threatening

Questions to Ask Before Your Visit

What is included in the quoted visit amount?
Could testing, medication, vaccines, supplies, or procedures cost extra?
Are outside laboratory charges billed separately?
When is payment expected?
Which payment methods are currently accepted?
