Will health insurance cover prescriptions written by out of network doctor?

I founda really good doctor that is out of network. I don't mind paying the visits or the labs, but if he writes prescriptions, can I still take them to walgreens and get them filled under my insurance plan? Or does the doctor writing the prescriptions have to be in the network? Thanks
--------------------
Yes, your choice of doctor will not affect your coverage for prescription meds and you can still get them filled at Walgreens.

Can I get WIC even though I pay for my own Health Insurance?

Can I have WIC even though I am planning to get married and go under "his insurance"?
--------------------
I don't think WIC is for health matters. It provides assistance for food. If your income is low enough then you can qualify. My sister had it and she got all her formula, milk, cereal, cheese, bread, etc. BTW, you have to have a child to get WIC as well.

Can online students still be covered for health insurance under parents plan?

I'm under my parents health plan and i turn 19 in January and thats when my coverage will be terminated unless I show proof im still a "full time student".. Im currently enrolled in college but online.. Does this still qualify under full time student?
--------------------
I would think it does, but there is usually a credit hour amount that has to be met to be full-time and I am unsure how online courses are. If they are also credit hours, just like normal school and you're full-time, then you should be ok.

How to see a physical therapist without health insurance?

I have a problem with my shoulder/collarbone. Does anyone know I can see a physical therapist without insurance?? Preferably MA or NH
--------------------
Ys you can but it will be expensive, because insurance essentially pays a portion of the bill. You can work out payment plans with doctors but they will need a lot of information. You can go to a major hospital, but you should be ready to wait in a long line for a long time. Try to go on a monday afternoon when there might be less people. I didn't have insurance until I got injured and went to a hospital. I live in a big city and because my injuries were not life threatening, I waited 12 hours. They cannot turn you away and must treat you. If your problem is something you can live with, try to get insurance even if just for a while. Starbucks offers insurance to employees of at least three months and insurance is something like $25 a month.

How do I prove that I don't have any health insurance?

I need to prove that I don' have any health insurance...how do I do that? (I am a college student) Thanks
--------------------
Telling them should be enough. What I don't understand,why do you have to prove it? If you are in college, and not working, and your parents are your soul supporter, and they have insurance and you are under twenty five, then you do have insurance. Otherwise you must be working and they think you have insurance from your employer. If that's the case, just have them check with your employer. Good luck

I'm 19 with no health insurance and I just found a lump in my breast. Where can I go to get treatment?

I'm currently in Idaho but I have family in North Carolina and California. My parents do not have insurance so I can't get coverage through them. Is there anywhere in Idaho, California or North Carolina that I can receive treatment? I went to a pay clinic but they can't do x-rays or a biopsy. Please help me.
