Please Note:

Urgent Care Services are provided based on the severity of the illness and the level of care required for the patient. In some cases, in order to properly care for a patient, an Emergency Room level of care may be required. When this occurs, the charges will reflect the change in treatment from an Urgent Care visit to an Emergency Room visit.

Insurance coverage may vary depending on where you receive care. Please check with your insurance company. If an Emergency Room visit is covered better than an Urgent Care visit, you may request an Emergency Room visit.
