Questions about Urgent Care in Memphis, TN

Question 1

Does urgent care in Memphis accept TennCare?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AFC Urgent Care and Baptist Walk-In Care accept TennCare (Tennessee Medicaid) for eligible enrollees, primarily children, pregnant adults, and people with qualifying disabilities. Because Tennessee has not expanded Medicaid, many working-age adults do not qualify for TennCare. Uninsured Memphians can access self-pay rates at most urgent care clinics — typically $100–$175 per visit.

Question 2

What if I'm uninsured in Memphis — can I still use urgent care?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most Memphis urgent care clinics offer transparent self-pay pricing, typically $100–$175 for a standard visit — far less than a Memphis ER visit averaging $1,000 to $2,000 for non-emergency care. If you are uninsured and earn under 200% of the federal poverty level, the Church Health MEMPHIS Plan provides affordable access to primary care as well.

Question 3

How long are wait times at urgent care in Memphis?

Accepted Answer

Memphis urgent care clinics typically see patients within 20 to 60 minutes. Using Solv's online check-in to reserve your spot before you leave reduces wait time significantly. Memphis ERs at Regional One Health and Methodist Le Bonheur can run two to four hours during flu season and weekend evenings — making urgent care the faster and less expensive option for non-emergencies.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Go to the ER for chest pain, signs of stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty), severe breathing difficulty, major trauma, loss of consciousness, or any rapidly worsening condition. Regional One Health Level I Trauma Center handles the most critical Memphis emergencies. For everything else — infections, sprains, fever, minor injuries — urgent care is appropriate.

Question 5

Are urgent care clinics in Memphis open on weekends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AFC Urgent Care, Baptist Walk-In Care, and Fast Pace Health all offer weekend hours at Memphis-area locations. Many are open Saturday and Sunday, typically 8 AM to 5 PM or later. Use Solv to check specific weekend hours and real-time wait times at your nearest Memphis urgent care clinic before heading in.

Question 6

Can I get a strep or flu test at urgent care in Memphis?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rapid strep, flu A/B, COVID-19, and RSV tests are available at most Memphis urgent care clinics with results in 10–20 minutes. Walk in without an appointment or use Solv to check in online. Memphis sees above-average flu activity from November through March, so testing is especially valuable during peak respiratory season.

Question 7

Is there urgent care in East Memphis or Germantown near Memphis?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AFC Urgent Care and Fast Pace Health have locations serving East Memphis and Germantown. Baptist Walk-In Care also operates near the Baptist Memorial Hospital campus. Use Solv to find the closest clinic to your East Memphis or Germantown address with current wait times.
