I think there is no other work around, instead taking your own insurance
but you can go to community center and find , there may be some assistance for such cases

And if its 1st month then mostly you don't have to spend too much on doctor visit ( its betn $50 - $60), take extra measures till you get your health card

good luck and congrats.
