Abstract: Physicians who serve large immigrant populations know that it can often be difficult to collect reimbursement for care of patients who are not citizens, due to their economic status, lack of private insurance, or ineligibility for public health coverage. Immigrants generally use substantially fewer health services than the native-born population, but, of course, still need medical care [1]. How can a physician get paid for providing services to this often poor and uninsured population?
