Does Healthy San Francisco cover urgent care visits?

Healthy San Francisco (HSF) is a city-funded program for uninsured San Francisco residents — not insurance. Per the HSF program guidance, urgent care services are paid for only when delivered at a hospital affiliated with the participant's assigned medical home network. HSF members can call 1-415-615-4555 to confirm in-network urgent care sites for their medical home. Eligibility requires San Francisco residency, no other coverage, and household income at or below 500% of the federal poverty level.

Do San Francisco urgent care clinics accept Medi-Cal?

Many San Francisco urgent care clinics accept Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program. Acceptance is plan-dependent: SF Health Plan and Anthem Blue Cross Medi-Cal are the dominant Medi-Cal managed care plans in the city. Medi-Cal expanded in 2024 to cover all eligible adult residents regardless of immigration status. Confirm in-network status with the specific clinic and plan before visiting.

How long is the wait at urgent care in San Francisco?

Most San Francisco urgent care clinics post wait times under 30 minutes when a patient books a same-day reservation through Solv. Walk-in waits stretch longer in the late afternoon and during winter respiratory peaks. Booking online holds a slot and trims most of the in-clinic wait.

When should I go to the ER instead of urgent care?

Go to a ZSFG, UCSF Parnassus, UCSF Mission Bay, CPMC, Saint Francis Memorial, or Kaiser San Francisco emergency department for chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe head injury, complex fractures, deep wounds requiring surgical repair, severe abdominal pain, or breathing difficulty unresponsive to a rescue inhaler. For most other concerns, urgent care is faster and far less expensive than an ER visit.

Are there 24-hour urgent care clinics in San Francisco?

Most San Francisco urgent care clinics close between 8 and 10 p.m. with shorter weekend hours. After-hours walk-in care runs through hospital emergency departments — ZSFG, UCSF, CPMC, Saint Francis Memorial, and Kaiser SF. Carbon Health, One Medical, Sutter Walk-In Care, and Kaiser all offer telehealth visits that cover late-night issues that don't require hands-on care.

What insurance do San Francisco urgent care clinics accept?

San Francisco urgent care clinics accept the major commercial plans — Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare — plus Medicare. Medi-Cal acceptance is plan-dependent. Self-pay rates at Carbon Health, One Medical, MinuteClinic, and Sutter Walk-In Care are posted online.

Where can I find pediatric urgent care in San Francisco?

UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital San Francisco operates pediatric urgent care, and Kaiser Permanente sees pediatric patients at Kaiser San Francisco. CPMC also runs pediatric urgent care lines. Several adult urgent care brands across the city see pediatric patients, but pediatric-specific sites have child-friendly equipment and clinicians trained on kids.
