As a patient, you have several options available to you for convenient medical treatment. If you are not facing a true emergency but cannot wait to be seen by your regular physician, urgent care facilities may very well be your best option. But it’s important to note that not all urgent medical care centers are created equal. Some are independently run, while others are affiliated with hospitals or with universities. The quality of care offered may differ as well as the costs and convenience. It’s essential to evaluate an urgent care center prior to visiting so you can benefit fully from this convenient medical treatment option. Insurance Coverage: There are likely several urgent care clinics in your area that will accept your insurance plan. But you shouldn’t just assume that a given facility will have an established partnership with your insurance. Certainly, urgent care options are typically more cost-effective. But if a given clinic does not accept your insurance and you don’t find out that information beforehand, you could be stuck with a higher bill than expected. Ability to Make Appointments: Urgent care clinics are well known for their ability to accept patients on a walk-in basis. With the popularity of urgent care centers on the rise, you may want to look for facilities that offer advance appointment options. This will ensure that you can be seen much sooner and at a time that’s convenient for you, rather than having to wait during a busier period. It’s not always necessary to make an appointment, but it can be an attractive feature for many patients. Call us at (347) 614-5728.
