If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance
