Pediatrician appointment with no insurance- do you pay before your visit or can you be billed?

My husband was laid off from his job that had health and dental insurance and and I have no money to bring my baby to her appointment to get her shots. We don't qualify for medicaid because he makes just over the limit for any help. JUST over. What do I do?
--------------------
I think my pediatrician charges $60 or so for a 'well baby' visit with no shots. I'd just call and ask about the billing and how much it will be. But if I really couldn't afford it, I would call the Health Department... I think it's free or really cheap and could get you by for now.
