What to expect if you are paying out of pocket

Tell the navigator you do not have insurance or prefer self-pay. They look for providers and programs that can see you without a commercial plan, including options that may be more affordable than browsing listings alone.

You still pay the provider for care if there is a session fee. Navi’s matching call remains $0.
