زه به څنګه یو ډاکټر بيه وموم؟

If you or someone in your family is sick, going to the doctor is important. Even if you feel well, visiting the doctor regularly can help you stay healthy.

If you have health insurance, you can call your health insurance company or go to their website to find a doctor near you. They will let you know which doctors take your health insurance. You can also ask a friend or your resettlement office for a recommendation.

If you do not have health insurance, you can get low-cost health care at a nearby community health center or health clinic. How much you pay depends on your income. Some even offer care for free. Your immigration status should not affect your care. Their care can vary but could include:

  • لومړنۍ روغتیایی پاملرنه
  • د امیندواره میرمنو لپاره د زیږون دمخه پاملرنه
  • د لابراتوار ازموینې
  • واکسین کول
  • د غاښونو پاملرنه
  • Mental health services
  • فزیکي درملنه
  • متخصصینو ته راجع کول
  • Free or low-cost prescriptions
  • Ongoing care for chronic conditions (such as diabetes or asthma)

د لومړني پاملرنې ډاکټر (PCP) ستاسو ټول لومړني طبي اړتیاوې څاري. دوی د عام طبي ستونزو لپاره عمومي پاملرنې او مختلف روغتیایی خدمتونه وړاندې کوي. تاسو به د عمومي معایناتو لپاره په منظمه توګه خپل لومړني پاملرنې ډاکټر وګورئ. تاسو کولی شئ خپل لومړني پاملرنې ډاکټر ته هم مراجعه وکړئ کله چې تاسو ناروغ یاست.

ستاسو PCP کیدای شي یو ډاکټر (طبیعت)، د معالج معاون، یا د نرس ​​​​پریکټیشنر وي. د ماشومانو ډاکټران د ماشومانو لپاره لومړني پاملرنې ډاکټران دي مګر ډیر ډاکټران د هر عمر ناروغان ګوري. تاسو ممکن د ډیرو کلونو لپاره ورته PCP وګورئ.

مثالونه کله چې تاسو خپل لومړني پاملرنې ډاکټر سره وګورئ:

  • د کلنی روغتیایی معاینه
  • Preventative health screening and tests
  • د خوندې ساتلو واکسینونه او واکسین کول
  • عام ناروغۍ، پشمول ساړه، الرجی، زکام، د غوږ انتان
  • Chronic conditions, including asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease
  • متخصصینو ته راجع کول

خپل حقوق وپیژنئ

You have rights when you go to a clinic or hospital, regardless of your immigration status.

  • You have the right to equal treatment. It is against the law for a medical care provider to refuse treatment because of your race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.
  • You have the right to emergency care. Most hospitals must screen and stabilize you in an emergency, even if you cannot pay or do not have insurance.
  • You can ask for a female or male health provider. If you feel more comfortable with a female or male health provider, you can make this request when scheduling your appointment.
  • You have the right to get a copy of your medical records and keep your health information private. Hospitals and clinics generally cannot share your private health information without your permission, except in certain situations allowed or required by law.
  • You have the right to translation services. If you speak a language other than English, you can always ask for an interpreter. Federally funded healthcare clinics are required to offer free interpretation services. Many health care providers that receive federal funding must offer free language assistance.
  • Your healthcare provider must get informed consent to start a treatment. Informed consent means a health care provider must explain all benefits and risks of your treatment options and get your permission first.
  • You have the right to ask for a second opinion. You can ask another healthcare provider to review your diagnosis or treatment plan.
  • Using low-cost health clinics or emergency care generally does not affect your immigration status or Green Card application under public charge rules.

Undocumented immigrant rights

  • You can get medical care even if you are undocumented. Hospitals must provide emergency care required by law. You can also seek care at urgent care clinics, community health centers, and other health clinics.
  • You may be asked for a photo ID or Social Security number, but you can ask what other options are accepted if you do not have one.
  • Some states require hospitals to ask about immigration status. You can choose not to answer. Your decision not to answer should not affect your right to emergency care required by law.
  • You have the right to healthcare no matter your immigration status or ability to pay. This includes emergency and preventive care. Undocumented immigrants can get medical care at a variety of healthcare facilities, including urgent care clinics, public hospitals, and emergency rooms. You do not have to show a photo ID or Social Security number if you do not have one.
  • Immigration authorities must have a warrant signed by a judge or permission to enter private areas of healthcare facilities. ICE can now conduct enforcement actions at hospitals even though they are considered “sensitive locations.” They can only enter public areas (like lobbies) without permission. You have the right to remain silent if immigration enforcement asks you questions.
  • Hospitals and clinics generally cannot share your immigration status with ICE without your permission. There are some exceptions, such as when disclosure is required by law. Health care providers can refuse to share patient information with ICE unless there is a valid warrant signed by a judge or magistrate, or another court order.

It is important to get medical care if you need it, even if you are worried about immigration enforcement.

How do I make a doctor’s appointment?

You can make an appointment by calling the doctor’s office and telling them why you need to see a doctor. If you have health insurance, have your health insurance card in front of you. You may be asked to provide your member ID number.

  • If you need help with English, ask for a translator or have someone call for you.
  • If you prefer to see a woman or a man doctor, let them know.
  • If you are undocumented, ask if they require ID or any other documents.

د ډاکټر دفتر به تاسو ته د لېدنې وخت درکړي. تاسو کولی شئ تل د نورو انتخابونو غوښتنه وکړئ که چیرې هغه یو چې دوی یې وړاندیز کوي ستاسو لپاره ښه نه وي. ځینې ​​​​وختونه دا به یو څه وخت ونیسي چې د لېدنې وخت شتون ولري.

Write down the appointment date, time, and location. Once you have made your appointment, try to keep it. Many doctors have strict cancellation policies. If you do not show up or cancel the appointment too late, you may have to pay a cancellation fee. If you have to cancel, try to do it at least two days before.

Ask if telehealth is available if transportation, childcare, or work schedules make it hard to attend in person.

What can I expect at a doctor’s appointment?

دا مهمه ده چې د خپلو لیدو لپاره په وخت راشې. ځینې ​​​​کلینیکونه به تاسو څخه وغواړي چې د فورمو ډکولو لپاره له 10 څخه تر 15 دقیقو دمخه راشي. ځینې ​​​​وختونه، تاسو به د لېدنې په وخت کې له یو څخه ډیر طبي مسلکي وګورئ، لکه یو نرس چې ستاسو حیاتي لومړی معاینه کوي. تاسو به د خپل ډاکټر سره د لیدو لپاره شخصي خونې یا ځای ته واستول شي.
