Most doctors are affiliated with at least one type of insurance that requires the patient to pay a co-pay. How do you think those co-pays get paid? The patient usually pays with a credit card, cash, debit card, or a check.

Seriously you're turning a nothing into an issue. Just tell the doctor's office you'll be paying with a credit card and problem solved.

You are not understanding the situation. Most medical facilities will not accept patients that can not show proof of insurance. Being a cash paying patient is not the same as paying your co-pay with cash.
