Does this work in the emergency room?

Hospitals will always treat you in the emergency room. I believe they’re legally liable if you aren’t treated. I think this is for scheduled services (i.e. surgeries, etc.)

Ultimately they’ll ALWAYS take cash, and most hospital registrars have a fee schedule for cash. You just have to ask.

Only if the hospital doesn’t have an emergency room, and there will be hospitals that shut down their ERs or make them so small as to make them virtually unusable.
Just wait and see.

There are federal laws that have been on the books for years which forbid a hospital from denying “emergency” care to *anybody*,regardless of their ability to pay.And “emergency” is defined in the law so broadly that it allows deadbeats to use the ER as a 24/7/365 walk-in clinic...which many,*many* people do on a routine basis.
