Doctor's office says no to medicare, medicaid, other insurance, only accepts cash

Leave your insurance card at home. One Tulsa doctor's office won't accept it.

Grassroots Healthcare at 91st and Sheridan says no to Medicare, Medicaid and every other form of insurance.

They say yes to cold hard cash. Their reason is simple. Nurse Practitioner Monica Winford says, "We don't have a set price from the government, from Medicare and Medicaid. We cut the government out and eliminate the middle man."

If you do have insurance, Grassroots Healthcare will help. Winford says, "We'll give them a reciept with the diagnostic codes on it that they can file with their insurance company."

A standard office visit will cost you $49. A more complex visit runs between $59 and $89. A well child check-up is $50-70 and a full physical including the lab work is $125 or $155 if you want an EKG.
