Need immediate care?
If you need to see a doctor right away, you have options depending on the type of medical care needed.
Convenience Care Clinics
When you need face-to-face medical attention for minor illnesses (flu shots, vaccines, allergies, etc.) but can’t wait for an appointment, a Convenience Care Clinic (walk-in clinic) is your best bet for immediate, affordable care.
Urgent Care Centers
If you need medical attention for a non-emergency medical condition (back pain, colds and flu, broken bones, etc.), an Urgent Care Center typically costs less than the ER with shorter wait times.
Emergency Room (ER)
If you have a life-threatening medical condition, were in a serious accident, or suddenly become ill, go to the Emergency Room. This is typically the most expensive option and reserved for emergencies only.
