Good luck with that. Most doctors offices wont even accept you as a patient without some form of insurance. It doesn't matter if you have a briefcase full of cash in hand.

Ehhh...that's not exactly true.
they'd rather have someone pay-in-advance or self-pay than Medicaid.

Had an associated hospital clinic open up for business in our little berg. We were not patients. Wife got bit by a bug and needed to go to a doctor, so on the advice of a nurse I knew that worked there, I called in for an appt. for the wife.
The person I talked to had a little trouble understanding the appt. was for the wife. She first asked me who I was covered by and I said Medicare. Once she understood the wife needed the appt. she asked for her insurance. I said United Health. She said oh good because we don't accept first time patients covered by Medicare, however, since she registered first with us then we will also honor your Medicare insurance if you decide to do business with us.
Blew my senile mind.
I know tl/dr but it's interesting anyway.
