Urgent cares offer medical care services like emergency rooms, but they are available within extended hours for your urgent medical issues. Urgent care centers deal with a lot of the following medical issues:

– Minor fractures
– X-rays
– Back pain
– Nausea
– Vomiting
– Diarrhea
– Minor headaches
– Lab tests
– Bumps, cuts and scrapes
– Fever

Emergency rooms are open 24/7 to care for all medical emergencies as well as the above urgent care medical needs. Urgent cares however have shorter wait times, are much cheaper and take health insurance. Walk-ins are welcome at both emergency rooms and urgent cares, so there is no need to schedule an appointment ahead of time. Urgent cares can be found in very convenient and nearby locations, whereas emergency rooms are located in the busiest of areas which can be far for some.

Urgent cares offer a more affordable medical care experience than that of an emergency room. The average cost of an emergency room visit can be anywhere from $1300 – 1400 or more depending on the reason for the visit, and if you have to stay in the hospital for a longer period of time.

Urgent cares also have the ability to accept most insurances at their locations, so you usually do not have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses when visiting an urgent care if they accept your health insurance.

Urgent cares and walk-in immediate care clinics provide medical treatment for illnesses and injuries that are not life or limb-threatening. If you cannot immediately see your primary care provider, or you do not have a primary care provider, you are visiting from out of town, you can easily see a doctor for medical care at any urgent care and avoid a costly trip to the emergency room. Any of the below conditions that may require immediate medical attention but are not life or limb-threatening can be seen at an urgent care, they include:
