BEFORE YOUR VISIT
Medication, outside testing and in-person services may cost extra. Urgent care does not provide lab ordering or laboratory follow-through; your PCP or an appropriate local clinician handles needed testing.
A clinician can review certain medication requests. Prescribing depends on your history, the medication and clinical assessment; a request does not guarantee a prescription.
No. Urgent care addresses a specific concern. Primary care supports a continuing relationship, prevention and ongoing management. Explore primary-care membership.
