    Urgent care centers offer a convenient alternative to emergency-room treatment for urgent but not life-threatening medical issues, and are more accessible than hospitals.

    From chains to local clinics, these centers are important to know — especially for those who do not have a regular doctor or who have young, adventurous (or accident-prone) children.

    What is an urgent care center?
    An urgent care center is a type of walk-in clinic, not a hospital, that can be used as an alternative to an emergency room in cases where immediate care is required but the situation is not life-threatening. They are frequently located in retail storefronts (rather than medical office buildings), making them easy to spot and easy to reach.

    Urgent care centers are typically run as for-profit businesses and have generous — although not around-the-clock — hours. It is often also possible to make an appointment in advance.

    When should I go to an urgent care center?
    An urgent care center is an ideal option in cases where you require immediate assistance for an injury or illness, or require a prescription, but are unable to meet with your usual doctor or do not feel your condition is life-threatening enough for an emergency room visit. Urgent care centers are known for being more pleasant than emergency rooms, and often have a shorter wait in instances where you do not require immediate assistance.

    Do urgent care centers take my insurance?
    Urgent Care centers typically accept most insurance, including Medicare. Policies differ by clinic, however, so it is important to check before walking-in or making an appointment.
