There are a number of doctors who have tried to be sensitive to the situation. They simply won't let you in the door if you have insurance.

But if you walk in and pay cash they will treat you and do it for a very reasonable price.

The reason being that the cost of them processing and submitting insurance claims is probably their second highest expense, passed only by medical malpractice insurance.

Show me. I'm highly skeptical since no hospital is apt to give a physician who won't take insurance admitting privs.
