Immediate and urgent care can actually be less expensive than an appointment with your doctor. It depends on who your doctor is, but immediate and urgent care tends to be less expensive, at an average of $100 for a visit (less with insurance; costs may vary, so please call us for more details about pricing). Also, doctors at immediate care clinics are often better equipped to treat a variety of ailments, so it’s less likely that you’ll have to be referred to a specialist. Additionally, immediate and urgent care can be more convenient. Walk-ins are welcome and wait times are minimal, which isn’t the case with regular doctor visits. Going to the emergency room (ER) is absolutely necessary if your illness or injury is life-threatening. If you are sure that your ailment is not life-threatening, then it can be better to go to an immediate and urgent care clinic. It’s much less expensive and much more convenient, especially when you consider that in the ER, patients with a life-threatening condition are prioritized over those without a non-life-threatening condition. Immediate and urgent care centers accept most major insurance plans.
