Can I Go To The ER Without Health Insurance? 
Yes , you sure can . How they will treat you when you get there is a different question . Most hospitals will treat you whether you have health insurance or not . There are some , however , that may not . In that case , they would send you you to the hospital that will treat you . It also depends on what you need . If it 's something minor , you may wait or they may send you to a different hospital . If it 's critical , they will either treat you there or stabilize you to go to a different hospital . Either way , they will bill you for their services and , the more serious the case , the more it will cost . If you 're considering going to the Emergency Room , you should take a moment and think about whether that 's the right place to go . There are many Urgent Care centers that can help you with more minor issues like fevers , sprained ankles , and minor injuries . You 'll probably get treated more quickly and it 'll cost a lot less .
