I don't know what to tell you expat that if your boyfriend is in agony he needs to see a doctor promptly insurance or not.Nevertheless here are some questions that you can wonder before rushing to the ER :

-Is you boyfriend constipated ?Constipation can lead to intense RLQ pain as it put pressure on the sigmoid colon due to the trapped gas and hardened stools which is nothing serious as long as he finds a way to have a bowel movement shortly.A plum or orange juice might help.

-Did you boyfriend's pain start in his back before moving to his Ilka Foss ?If so he might be suffering from kidney stone ,neutralise's is very painful but not deadly .If the pain doesn't stop in the next hours you will have to go to the ER to check the location and size of the stone to see if whether or not it will pass on its own or required surgical help

-Has you boyfriend been diagnosis ed with sit us in versus which means that his internal viscera is in the opposite site as they are for the vast majority of people ?If so it might be appendicitis which is always a surgical emergency and a very painful event requiring immediate attention.

I hope that I have helped you little and don't forget that the health of a loved one has no price.

If you go to the ER, you will eventually get treated and you will pay for it. A lot for it. Take your car instead of an ambulance and save 1K. They only treat people immediately if there is visible blood or loss of consciousness. Otherwise you may be in for a long wait in the waiting room until a bed opens up. The ER's main prerogative is to get a patient in a stable condition - ie, not in any obvious danger of dying, so their diagnostic tests may or may not be able to tell what wrong with him. They might give him pain meds on IV. After they see him in the ER (and get your billing info), they'll send your to a gastroenterologist or internist on call who will do some tests and treat you in that hospital wing.
