What is Urgent Care?
Urgent care is often considered the bridge between traditional physicians and emergency rooms. Most primary care physicians don’t offer extended hours. Weekends Plus Urgent Care fills the gap for those times you need medical care but are unable to see your primary care provider. Urgent Care allows you to receive the medical care you need without the wait or expense of a trip to the emergency room.
When Should I Go to an ER?
Knowing when to go to an emergency room is important. Urgent care centers are not equipped for certain medical conditions. Here are examples of care that should be received from emergency rooms:
- Loss of Consciousness
- Labor and birthing
- Uncontrollable Bleeding
- Heart Attack or Chest Pain
- Stroke
- Severe burns
- Seizures
Do I need an appointment for urgent care?
No. You never need an appointment to be seen at Weekends Plus Urgent Care. Patients are seen on a walk-in basis. However, you are welcome to schedule one to save your spot in line.
Do I need my Insurance ID card to be seen in urgent care?
In order for us to be able to verify your insurance coverage, we will need to see and copy your insurance card. If you are unable to bring your card, we will do our best to verify your benefits with your carrier when you arrive.
What if I don’t have insurance?
No problem! Weekends Plus Urgent Care will work with you, providing affordable self-pay rates. Payment is due at time of service. Weekends Plus Urgent Care accepts cash, and all major credit cards.
