I'm a 23 year old working a part time job without health or dental insurance, and I need to go to the dentist. I found a free clinic in my area, but it says you have to be a resident of the county. I'm renting from a friend and living in the state trying to establish residency, but it's not official yet. Can I go to the clinic, give my current renting address, and still get treatment? I'm afraid they'll ask for my driver's license or other info that will show I'm still a resident of a different state. What should I do? Is there any way I can still get in? I'm in VA if that helps.
Am I eligible for free health/dental clinic?
Take your current electricity bill or a copy of your lease. If they ask about the address on your license just tell them you haven't had time to get it changed yet.
Reply:First of all, you should get your ID changed over to your new address if you're looking to establish residency. But take a bill or other legal document with the new address on it and you should be able to get seen. Now if their program has criteria--such as income based criteria--your job may or may not kick you out of the running but it never hurts to try! Good luck!
