Advice on low cost tests and imaging in NJ?
I’ve been dealing with a cough, stabbing stomach pain and vomiting for over 6 months. At first, I was diagnosed with pneumonia when my main symptom was coughing, but my symptoms have continued and changed over time.
More recently, I started having significant stomach pain and have vomited with little blood. I saw another doctor who thinks this may be related to stomach issues and gave me an order for additional testing.i’m uninsured and was told I need an endoscopy, ultrasound, and x-ray. I got a chest x-ray and everything was fine. I don’t make much money and I’m worried that if I can’t afford these tests, I won’t be able to get a proper diagnosis or treatment.
I’m looking for recommendations for low-cost places maybe under 1k that can do these tests, especially self-pay pricing. I already have a doctor’s note. I’m located in Ocean County, New Jersey, but I’m willing to travel nearby if needed.
If anyone has experience with affordable imaging centers, endoscopy centers, charity care, payment plans, or places that work with uninsured patients, I’d really appreciate any suggestions.
