Urgent Care

Choosing Where to Receive Health Services

Receiving care at an Urgent or Express Care Center can provide savings in terms of rising premium costs. Seeking medical treatment for minor symptom treatment from an Emergency Room is more costly than receiving care at an urgent care facility. Making a wise choice on where to receive your care can help control premium increases.

Urgent and Express Care Centers are available to you when you have a non-emergent need for treatment, and the situation is not life-threatening.

Common symptoms treated at Urgent or Express Care Centers:

  • Nausea
  • Minor burns including sunburn
  • Cough, cold, flu, and sore throat
  • Dizziness
