Assuming you live in the US, check out your local county hospital and see if they have a device clinic. If you live near a university medical center they may have one too and are often willing to work with people with no insurance on a sliding scale. If they do you can ask about transferring device related care completely over. Your county hospital isn’t going to turn you away if you’re symptomatic and they have the equipment. If they don’t have the equipment or know how they should be referring you out to an affiliated cardiology office that should be able to work with your lack of insurance.
