Is Urgent Care Covered by Insurance?

Restore Health Urgent Care is a medical facility that provides immediate, non-life-threatening healthcare services to patients. Unlike traditional hospitals or primary care offices, Restore Health Urgent Care offers extended hours, including evenings and weekends, and does not require appointments. Our clinic is staffed by licensed healthcare professionals, such as physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, who can diagnose and treat a wide array of ailments. We are equipped to handle minor injuries and illnesses like sprains, cuts, colds, and more serious conditions that require immediate attention but are not life-threatening. We also provide on-site diagnostic services, including X-rays, lab tests, and ultrasounds.

Restore Health Urgent Care has become an increasingly popular choice due to our convenience, accessibility, and ability to provide quick medical attention.

Additionally, we can provide care for less serious injuries or illnesses that have developed suddenly, such as eye pain, insect bites or stings, and heat exhaustion.

When to Seek Emergency Care

While Restore Health Urgent Care serves a vital role in healthcare, we are not a replacement for emergency medical care or your primary care provider. If you are facing a life-threatening emergency, like severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden or intense pain, uncontrolled bleeding, severe burns, poisoning, or any stroke symptoms, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. 

At Restore Health Urgent Care, we understand that the cost of an urgent care visit without insurance can be a significant concern for many patients. Therefore, we believe in transparent pricing and aim to make healthcare as affordable as possible. Look at the potential costs you may expect when visiting our facility:

Consultation Fee:

• Our basic examination and diagnosis fee typically ranges between $50 and $150.

Diagnostic Tests:

• We provide various diagnostic tests such as blood tests, urine tests, X-rays, and ultrasound. The cost of these tests at Restore Health Urgent Care can range from $10 for a simple urine test up to $500 for an ultrasound. If you need a strep test or a flu test, it could add anywhere from $30 to $60 per test to your bill.

Procedures:

• Procedures at our facility can range from suturing a laceration or splinting a fracture to minor surgeries. The cost can vary from $50 to $2,000. For instance, if you need a basic wound treatment or stitches, it can add $150 – $200 to your cost.

Additional Charges:

• Additional charges at Restore Health Urgent Care can include medications, medical supplies, and services offered during extended hours. The cost for these can range from $10 to $100 for medications and medical supplies.

Average Costs:

• For minor illnesses or injuries, without any diagnostic tests or procedures, the cost at Restore Health Urgent Care may range from $100 to $250.
• For more complex conditions requiring diagnostic tests or procedures, you may have to shell out anywhere between $300 and $1,000.

These figures are just estimates and the actual cost can differ significantly. However, it’s important to note that urgent care centers are usually less expensive than emergency room visits. Some also offer self-pay options or discounts for uninsured patients, making it advisable to discuss payment options with the team before receiving treatment. 

At Restore Health Urgent Care, we offer a wide range of prompt services for insured patients, addressing non-life-threatening emergencies that require immediate attention. Our facilities are staffed by experienced healthcare professionals who are skilled at treating a variety of acute medical conditions.

Injury Care:

We provide immediate care for minor injuries such as sprains, strains, fractures, cuts, burns, and bites. Equipped with the necessary facilities, we provide X-rays, stitches, splinting or casting for injuries, wound cleaning, and suture removal if needed.

Illness Treatment:

Restore Health Urgent Care also treats numerous illnesses including colds, flu, stomach viruses, strep throat, ear infections, bronchitis, and other respiratory illnesses. Not just that, we also handle the evaluation and treatment of urinary tract infections. Prescription medications can be provided as needed, and sick notes for work or school are also available.

Chronic Condition Management:

Patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, and other ongoing health issues can receive care and medication management at our urgent care center.

Women’s Health Services:

We also offer women’s health services, including pregnancy testing, treatment for urinary tract infections, and other non-emergency women’s health issues.

Testing and Diagnostics:

Our on-site laboratories provide quick and accurate diagnoses through laboratory tests such as blood, urine, and pregnancy tests, rapid strep and flu tests, electrocardiograms (EKGs) for heart monitoring, and imaging studies such as X-rays, ultrasounds, and MRI scans (at some clinics).

Preventive Care and Other Services:

At Restore Health, we offer preventive care including physical exams, screenings, vaccinations, health screenings, minor surgery and procedures like wound repair and wart removal, travel medicine, and occupational health services such as pre-employment physicals, drug screenings, and treatment for work-related injuries.

Benefits of Urgent Care at Restore Health for Insured Patients:

We offer convenience and accessibility, often remaining open late into the evening and on weekends, providing flexibility for patients who cannot see their primary care physician during regular hours. We prioritize seeing patients quickly, reducing wait times, and providing expedient treatment. Most health insurance plans cover our urgent care services, making them accessible and affordable for insured patients.

However, while we provide a comprehensive range of services, we are not a substitute for emergency care. Emergency rooms in hospitals should always treat life-threatening situations like heart attacks, strokes, serious burns, or catastrophic trauma. Likewise, we are not a replacement for regular visits to a primary care physician for ongoing health management and preventive care.

At Restore Health Urgent Care, we believe that accessible healthcare is a fundamental right. We are committed to working tirelessly to accept an extensive range of insurance plans and deliver affordable services to our community.
