    We took our 6 year old daughter to the urgent care. She had a high fever, rash, lethargic, and they went to work right away. Looked for measles, did a flu test, and did a strep test. She ended up having step they prescribed medicine and we were out of there. So fast, to the point, and professional. Great with kids also. Our daughter loved the popsicles, crackers, and stickers! Thank you all!

    Sadly, this is our 3rd time to this clinic in about a week, my family just keeps getting hit with fluke things. Generally we are very healthy. There is a measles epidemic in my community and although we are a vaccinated family, I thought my son might be infected. I was so impressed by the urgent care team and how they handled a possible contagious situation, but still with compassion and kindness. I also appreciate how while caring for my son, they still had a mindfulness towards the other patients in the clinic and followed a very safe and reasonable process to ensure we didn't expose others. Fortunately it was a false alarm, my son does not have measles, although a relief, he does have scabies which isn't feeling like much of a consolation prize even though it is. This is a truly wonderful medical professionals!

    Overall experience was good. PA was very nice, confident and fast. In light of the Measles Outbreak, I was disappointed that the facility did not offer a face mask or other means of protection. This facility was filled with at least 10 Orthodox and some were coughing. They could have separated the seating as well just as other Urgent Care and Pediatric offices do for newborns.

    Needed an MMR vaccine, and I hate needles! The nurse was so kind, friendly, gentle, and most professional, qualities you don’t find all the time anymore. I would go back anytime as long as I know she’s going to be there. Thanks urgent care, you have a gem working for you!

    I needed a measles titer for my employer, Northshore School District. A colleague had recommended Immediate Clinic. I spent a fair amount of time creating an online account, only to be told when I arrived at the Clinic in Kenmore that "we can't see what you wrote" and I'd have to re-do all the paperwork. UGH. Staff seemed pleasant but not what I'd call welcoming.

What is the Measles (MMR) Vaccine?

The MMR vaccine (which stands for measles, mumps, and rubella) is used to protect against those diseases. These illnesses are caused by viruses and they can spread through the air and pass from person to person through breathing, coughing, or sneezing. The CDC recommends that everyone get an MMR vaccine to avoid the spread of measles, mumps, and rubella between the ages of 12 to 15 months and then again between the ages of 4 to 6 years old. Teenagers and adults may need additional vaccinations to remain up to date.

You should get the MMR vaccine if you're a student in college, you'll be traveling abroad, you work in the healthcare field, or you're a woman of childbearing age. If you were born before 1957, you might not need an MMR vaccine, especially if you've been infected with any of those diseases in the past. If you were ever given a vaccine made with "killed" measles (rather than the live-type of vaccine used these days), you might need another MMR vaccine. Also, if you've had one between 1963 and 1967, but there's no record of what kind, you'll also need another one. If you're pregnant or you've had a life-threatening allergic reaction to one, avoid getting an MMR vaccine. You should also avoid it if you have cancer, HIV (or another immune system disorder), you have a low platelet count, or you're taking steroids.

Urgent Care FAQs

  • What is urgent care?

    Urgent care are available to assist patients that are looking for immediate, convenient medical care. In that manner, they are similar to an emergency room. The difference, however, is that ERs are meant to treat major, life-threatening injuries and illnesses while urgent care centers manage life’s minor bruises and bumps. In simple terms, an urgent care is seen as a walk-in health center that focuses in offering non-emergent health care conditions, including the treatment of the typical illnesses and injuries such as fractures and sprains, cuts and burns, scrapes, stings and bites, flu and cold symptoms, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, and much more. Most urgent care facilities offer both diagnostic and preventive care such as well visits, immunizations, STD testing and annual physicals. For regular visits and check-ups on these clinics, you should expect to pay between $20 and $100. The good thing is that most urgent care clinics will accept major PPOs and insurance cover, Medicare, as well as self-pay in the form of credit cards or cash. Urgent care clinics are located in most parts of the country in various regions to offset emergency room visits and provide a gap in healthcare services. They take patients during all hours of operations, which offer a significant convenience to most people who have and continue to undergo the need for sudden and immediate medical attention.

  • When should I go to the urgent care vs emergency room (ER)?

    Urgent care facilities are seen as a combination between an emergency room (ER) and a PCP (Primary Care Physicians), serving the instant and after hours requirements of neighboring patients. Most urgent care clinics even say that they can diagnose and treat up to seventy-five percent of the patients who visit an emergency room. The primary difference between an ER and Urgent care is the experience of the patient. The average waiting time in an ER is almost 2.5 hours while waiting time in urgent care is between 15 and 45 minutes. The cost of urgent care is usually a fraction of what you would pay in an emergency room. It is advisable to visit an emergency room in situations of medical emergency because urgent care clinics are meant for minor and non-emergent illnesses and injuries.

  • What's the difference between an urgent care and walk-in clinic?

    You will often see the terms urgent care clinic, retail clinic, immediate care clinic, walk-in clinic, and convenient clinic being interchangeably used nowadays. The emergence of emergency rooms complicated the conversation. A walk-in clinic is a type of clinic in which patients can walk-in with no advance appointment. An urgent care clinic, on the other hand, denotes a subgroup of the walk-in clinic model that typically provides extended hours, extended services and abilities as well as on-site lab tests and x-rays.

  • Is insurance accepted at urgent care centers?

    All insurance providers indicate whether their plan covers urgent care facilities or not. Individual clinics and providers may or may not possess a relationship with a particular plan. This aspect makes the scenario complicated. In most situations, insurance providers will cover the urgent care centers, and patients will be needed to pay a co-payment every time they visit the facility. In other rare occasions, it is common for the urgent care facilities to reject some insurance plans even if the provider has indicated that they will pay for the costs incurred. With these uncertainties, it is always advisable to call urgent care centers in advance to determine whether they accept specific insurance plans or not.

Urgent Care Guide

In a recent survey conducted with the Urgent Care Association, Solv found that patients were waiting an average of 24 days for appointments with their primary care provider. In a world of instant gratification, consumers demand more. They demand now. If you want to watch a movie, you download it in minutes or stream it instantly. If you need groceries, you can pick up your phone and have them delivered to you within the hour. If you need restaurant reservations, you find one with availability, book online, walk in minutes later and sit right down. Healthcare shouldn’t be any different.

That’s why urgent care has been growing at a faster pace than any other healthcare service in the United States. And it is why healthcare consumers search for “urgent care” more than 5x more than “primary care” or “family doctor,” combined. These consumers are highly actionable, searching with high intent terms like “urgent care near me.” They want same day access to quality healthcare providers when they are sick or injured - after hours, one weekends and on holidays - without the cost and inconvenience of the emergency room.

Urgent care centers typically treat minor illnesses like the flu, sinus infections and strep throat, as well as injuries like bone fractures and sprains, cuts, scrapes and burns, making these clinics ideal for diagnosing and treating non-emergent healthcare needs. And at a growing rate urgent care clinics are offering preventative care services including annual physicals and well visits, flu shots and other immunizations and vaccines, taking on the role of primary care provider for the tens of millions of consumers that don’t have one.

For kids there are special pediatric urgent care centers, usually open after hours for patients between the ages of 1 and 18.

Services & Pricing

Insurance & Payments

Nearly all urgent care centers take commercial insurance and many (if not most) will take medicare. As such if you have insurance coverage, you can expect the financial experience to be similar to visiting a specialist where you have a co-pay, usually $35-50, due at the time of the visit. Any additional lab work, x-rays or other tests performed will be billed against your insurance first and any supplemental balance due will be invoiced to you after the fact. Without insurance, you’ll pay a visit fee between $100-140 at the time of your visit. This is typically 25-50% more than your primary care provider, but usually the convenience is well worth the additional cost. If you are interested in a telehealth or video visit, your cost could be as much as 50% less than an urgent care, you could be diagnosed and prescribed medication and you’ll never have to leave your home.

Hours & Wait Times

Every urgent care center - even those part of the same group or brand - may have different hours. While they are meant to be conveniently accessible during times when your primary care provider is not, that’s subjective and highly variable. A traditional formula, however, is that an urgent care is open 6 to 7 days a week usually between the hours of 8 am to 8 pm. That could shift to nearly any 8-12 hour period between 7 am and 10 pm. You’ll even find some clinics open 24 hours a day, similar to an emergency room. As for wait time, most patients report waiting between 15-45 minutes on average, but that can certainly vary, as well. It’s usually best to find an urgent care near you to either confirm the hours online, or call the clinic directly to verify. Or, you can book a same day doctor appointment online with Solv.
