If you have had an extremely serious accident that threatens life or limb, you need the services of a competent, adequately-equipped emergency room. If, however, you are suffering from flu symptoms, a UTI, abrasions, lacerations or even fractures, you will first want to consider taking advantage of a convenient immediate care alternative, like a nearby Urgent Care facility. In addition to being seen and treated more quickly than you might in an ER setting, you can receive the same level of caring, professional medical attention, but at considerably lower pricing.
The staff at an Urgent Care facility understands that not everything medical is an emergency and they strive to help out in those instances, too. If you have a medical issue that can’t wait until your own physician can see you, or if you don’t currently have a primary care physician, an urgent care clinic can provide you with a wide range of services, from X-Rays and lab tests to allergy treatments and sports physicals.
Some of the other services you can find at one of these facilities include getting physicals for work, school, and camp, as well as physicals that meet DOT requirements. They can also provide drug testing and blood testing services. If the doctors determine that you could benefit from treatment by a specialist, they can provide you with the necessary referrals, and if you have a PCP they will work with him to make certain that you get any follow-up care you need.
Urgent Care facilities can provide you with what you need in the way of optimum and convenient quality care; you can take advantage of an incredibly wide array of services, provided by capable and caring professionals, in a welcoming, well-equipped clinic which is conveniently located and open seven days a week. And you will most likely find the cost of using a hospital emergency room or a freestanding E.R. is very often dramatically higher than using a walk in urgent care facility. They can accept a number of insurance plans and can work with you on a self-pay plan, if needed.
The caring professionals at Midwest Express Clinic can take care of you and your family members whether you’re having a medical emergency or you have a specific health issue that you need to discuss with a physician. They can see you quickly, treat you promptly, and make it as financially painless as possible.
