UTAH’S FREE HEALTH SERVICES

Utah free health and disability benefits city of Salt Lake City

UTAH’S FREE & LOW COST HEALTH RESOURCES

Utah’s free and low cost health services are available to you. Listed below you will find free and low cost health resources throughout the Salt Lake Valley and the State of Utah. On the list, we also have clinics from Northern and Southern Utah.  All of the clinics and community health centers will tell you on their website whether or not they accept a payment plan.

Likewise, some clinics may provide services on a sliding fee scale. Other clinics are free. Contact the clinics or medical resources directly. They can explain their payment options.

If you want to win your SSD benefits, then you need medical evidence. Therefore, you must see a doctor. Progress notes, tests, and medical opinions are the evidence for your SSDI and SSI case. The SSA will only accept medical evidence from doctors. For example, for physical problems, you might need to see your primary doctor to refer you to an expert.

However, for mental problems, you need to visit a psychologist or psychiatrist. You will also need to show ongoing treatment with your psychologist. It is also smart to see a counselor on a weekly basis for mental issues. Once you see a doctor over a period of months or years, then you have a relationship with your doctor. As a result, they can support your SSDI and SSI claim for benefits.

SECONDARY ACCEPTABLE HEALTH RESOURCES IN UTAH

The SSA realizes most patients get treatment not only doctors, but from other health professionals who work with your doctor. For example, most doctors employ a P.A. or Physician’s Assistant.  Or, you might see a Nurse Practitioner. That person might take your vitals or discuss your medical history. They may also follow you for chronic pain.

For example, you may have a severe back condition and see the doctor on your first visit. After that, you might go to physical therapy. Likewise, you might go to weekly visits with a nurse. After that, you might get steroid shots or massage therapy. Because you may see many types of doctors and nurses, the SSA now accepts medical opinions from those treating sources.

MEDICAL EVIDENCE WINS SSD BENEFITS IN UTAH

Below please find a list of Utah’s free and low cost health clinics and medical centers. These places often offer free health care if you do not have the ability to pay to see a doctor.

The clinics offer walk-in appointments, doctor care, and treatment for ongoing physical issues. You can obtain dental care, flu shots, vision care and other treatment by calling the clinics near you. If you get medical care, then you have a much better chance of winning your SSD and SSI benefits.

For example, if you have a mental illness, then you need to see a psychiatrist or psychologist. These are the treating sources who have experience treating mental illness. If you have records from them, then it should go a long way toward a judge deciding you deserve benefits.

Likewise, if you have a physical condition, like Multiple Sclerosis, then see an expert for treatment. A reasonable judge is going to accept the opinion of a treating doctor, who is an expert in the field, over the opinion of a general doctor. The SSA has a doctor, who is not an expert in your illness, read your medical records. Then, that doctor offers a medical opinion.

Even if your doctor writes a letter stating you cannot work, the SSA doesn’t have to give it much weight. For instance, the only time they accept a letter from your doctor is when the medical records support that opinion. In other words, submit all of your medical records as soon as possible.  This includes records of past operations, X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. Also, this includes EKGs, EEGs, physical therapy records, blood tests, and any other evidence from a doctor.

PSYCHIATRIC FACILITIES FOR INPATIENT TREATMENT

In Utah, there are many free and low cost mental clinics and services. If you need help with severe mental illness, then you should contact one of them and get treatment. These clinics offer mental treatment, education, and patient care. They may also offer ongoing outpatient mental health counseling.

When individuals with mental illness are suicidal, these are the resources that you need to contact. While these clinics may not be free, they will often work with Medicaid. Learn about Medicaid benefits. Sometimes they also accept Medicare benefits. Learn information about Medicare benefits.

Additionally, they usually work with your insurance to get you the mental health treatment you need. If you do not have insurance, you should still call them if you need acute mental care. They will work with you in terms of your payment, so that you can get the mental treatment you need.

UTAH’S FREE HEALTH SERVICES & YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS 

At our SSD law firm, we know how hard it can be to get medical care when you don’t have health insurance. It is our goal to help our clients by giving them a list of Utah’s free and low cost health resources. We also know that you don’t have a job right now. That makes it difficult to pay the bills. However, there are some doctors who will accept cash as payment.

If you do not have health insurance, then you can apply for Medicaid. Find out about Medicaid benefits information. If you get Medicaid, then it will cover your doctor visits. You can also call the above list of mental and physical resources to see if they will treat you. If not, then you could ask if they will accept a payment plan or cash payments.

Going to the doctor, following his or her treatment advice, and getting your medical records for the SSA is the only way to win your SSD case. Letters written by your family or friends are not medical evidence. That can be helpful. However, letters from your family can never take the place of medical evidence.

Progress notes showing ongoing visits to the doctor are evidence of medical treatment. For example – X-rays, MRI’s, doctor exams, and IQ tests – these are medical evidence. A note from your mother is not medical evidence. Without medical evidence, you cannot win your Social Security benefits.

If you need help getting your medical records, then contact us today. Likewise, if you need Utah’s free health services, then use our list. Also, if you need other types of information, call us. We can help.
