Pediatric Urgent Care FAQs

  • How much does a pediatric urgent care visit cost in Tennessee?

    Urgent care can cost anything from $75 to $150, depending on the clinic's location. Of course, this only applies to cash-paying patients. The quality and standards of healthcare, on the other hand, are consistent across the board. Most institutions, on the other hand, would charge between $100 and $125 for non-covered services. Keep in mind, however, that this is just the beginning of the fundamental therapies offered by urgent care facilities. Medication and immunization shots, lab testing, and X-rays are not included in the package. Stitches, sprains, and broken bones will all increase the expense of emergency treatment. Even patients with insurance will be compelled to pay co-payments rather than having their insurance company cover the entire cost. Payments are made in

  • Is insurance accepted at urgent care centers in Tennessee?

    Insurance companies decide whether or not to pay for emergency medical care. It is possible that a patient's insurance will not cover the costs. The urgent care center will only accept cash in that case. In most cases, however, insurance companies would cover urgent care, allowing people to visit a medical facility without having to pay a large sum of money. An urgent care center may refuse to accept this type of care even if your insurance policy covers it, but this is exceedingly rare. As a result, calling ahead and double-checking before visiting a care facility is always a smart idea.

  • What are common services of a pediatric urgent care in Tennessee?

    You may be concerned that your child is sicker than normal, but this is not the case. The truth is that children will get sick, especially after they enter school and their immune systems are exposed to the health risks that come with crowded environments. Colds, flu, strep throat, ear and sinus infections, pink eye, and pneumonia are just a few of the illnesses that can be treated in a pediatric urgent care facility near you. Pediatric urgent care clinics can also treat stings and bug bites, allergic reactions, wounds and burns, swallowed items, sprains, and fractured bones in addition to traumas.

  • What Is the difference between an urgent care and the emergency room?

    The patient experience is the most significant contrast between a pediatric urgent care center and an emergency room. In an emergency room, the typical wait time is roughly two and a half hours. A pediatric urgent care center, on the other hand, can see the child in 15 to 45 minutes. Another important distinction is the expense of an urgent care facility versus an emergency department. The former is usually a fraction of the cost of the latter. If a patient has a significant health emergency, they should go to an emergency department rather than an urgent care center. Because urgent care centers are exclusively for non-emergent and minor diseases, as well as minor injuries, this is the case.

  • What is the difference between pediatric urgent care and regular urgent care?

    The patient experience is the key contrast between a pediatric urgent care facility and an emergency room. In an emergency room, the average wait time is about two hours and fifteen minutes. The patient, on the other hand, will be treated in a pediatric urgent care clinic in 15-45 minutes. Another important distinction is the expense of an urgent care center vs an emergency department. The former is frequently far less expensive than the latter. In the event of a serious health emergency, patients should go to an emergency department rather than an urgent care center. Because urgent care clinics are only for non-emergent and minor illnesses and injuries, this is the case.

  • What is pediatric urgent care?

    Typically, pediatric urgent care operators collaborate with traditional physicians, the majority of whom are available during regular office hours (e.g. from 9 am - 5 pm Monday to Friday). Late-night pediatric situations that might usually demand a trip to the emergency room are handled by these medical specialists. Pediatric urgent care centers treat both minor and significant ailments in children. They are frequently open till midnight and on weekends, even when conventional pedestrians are closed. These children's doctors, without a doubt, save parents from unnecessary and traumatic trips to the emergency room.

  • 10 Ways to Keep Your Kids Out of the Urgent Care

    There are a variety of ways to keep children healthy and avoid health problems and emergencies. Simple precautions such as hand washing, regular water, and adequate sleep can help protect children's health. Many diseases can be avoided in toddlers by eating a well-balanced diet, managing stress, getting the necessary vaccines, and avoiding smokers.

Recent Pediatric Urgent Care Reviews (20)

The staff (Lynn especially was awesome!!) and the Dr were great. Despite a laptop that died, confusion over logging in and jumping back to finish they never acted as if I was a bother. They were quick, thoroughly answered my questions, were respectful of my concerns and needs. The tele dr (Ms. Burrs(?) ) gave me further to dos if this doesn't help since it had been going on for a few months. Encouraged me to not lift over 5lbs but understood as a farmer....that probably wont happen. She also understood pain meds won't help me as I am a young widow with kids so...no drowsy momma here! Meds she recommended will keep me aware but I can do tylenol not others like ibuprophen or naproxen. REALLY enjoy and prefer the tele visit. No diesel used, no wasting time driving there and back and no dealing with finding a spot to park my big ol truck. :) All wins!! Also, it is Memorial Day and cvs is closed so I called back and they are sending it over to walgreens! Yay! Thank you Lynn at Cookeville and Hermitage tele Dr Burrs!!

This was by far the best experience I've ever had at a medical provider's office, but even more so at a pediatrician's office. The wait time was minimal, the check-in process being digital on your phone was super convenient. I would absolutely recommend anyone with children use this urgent Care. The provider and staff was phenomenal with my daughter. Their main priority was to make sure that she was comfortable. Once her favorite broke and she was ready to play the nursing staff actually played with her, which absolutely stood out to me. She needed some testing that required a urine sample and once again their top priority was to make sure that she was comfortable. I'd also like to make a special note that in a world with covid, if someone has a fever or is showing any signs of covid people seem to shy away or change their demeanor, ever not one single staff member did in our case. Though she was negative for covid, it was nice to see that they still treated everyone equally. Thank you for that.

- Verified patient on 12/17

This was a wonderful place!!! They went above and beyond to make my kids feel comfortable. I love how they talked to them to calm their nerves, and how they explained to them what they were going to do every step of the way. So many people become like robots these days and just go through the motions bc they are overworked and they are tired. Not these folks! They treated us how they would treat a family member. I’m so very appreciative of that. They made my life easier by just being kind to my kids. We need more people like this in our crazy world. I hope they realize what a difference they make and don’t ever change!

- Verified patient on 10/26

it was extremely easy. the audio over the video call was not working for some reason but the doctor stayed on the call with me and just called me from her phone so we could hear each other. she listened to all of my symptoms in detail and then let me know what prescriptions she was writing for me and even informed me to use goodRX for coupons. it is definitely an efficient and effective way of going to the doctor for people who have kids, no transportation, or cannot leave work. i only waited 6 mins past my schedules appt time to be seen and it was a 10 min visit!!

Wait time!!! I always use the Hold My Spot option for appointments however even though I had a 2:00 spot I waited until 3:48 to be called back. Everyone who was on the Walk-in list was seen before I was today. The reason for using Hold My Spot is so that I don’t have to wait almost 2 hours, with a clinic full of sick people, during a pandemic, while a friend graciously babysat my 3 kids…. I feel the quality of care I receive here is always great, which keeps me coming back to this location. Please just honor the “appointment” times better.

Julie is always fantastic with my son, he gets so excited to see her. Fancy made the tests super simple that had to be ran on my kiddo and kept him calm and happy. Shelly was also very sweet with helping Julie get a test on my son that he didn't want but did better than I expected but without this team I know he would have been fighting off every test. This team is amazing. Crystal was the front desk today and professional fast and caring with my check in and concerns.

The wait was a little long but they apologized for that. I give this facility 5 stars though because they diagnosed my baby correctly. I had taken him to his pediatricians on site walk in the day before and they diagnosed him with a “cold” and sent us home. When I brought him here today he was tested for rsv and was positive. He also had an ear infection. I am so thankful to the nurse practitioner we saw today. Everyone involved in his care today was wonderful.

I have been here before for myself. However this time it was for my kids. When your kids are sick life is just more upside down than normal. These people were great with them. Even though kids were sick and runny nose was in full effect the staff was still so nice and patient. They got their Covid test for school and I had the results within hours. No Covid but they have a case of the cold. 👏😀😷

Tennessee Pediatric Urgent Care

Convenience is important these days, especially for parents with young children. In a world when 'next day delivery' is being beaten by'same day shipping,' who wants to wait several weeks to visit their pediatrician or primary care physician? There are several types of walk-in clinics, including urgent care, pediatric urgent care, retail clinics, and others. These handy locations offer same-day access to qualified pediatric providers who can diagnose and treat a variety of minor injuries and illnesses in children aged 6 to 18. If you've ever wondered, "Where can I find a walk-in clinic near me?" you've come to the right place.
The last thing you want to do when your children require immediate medical attention is travel to a nearby urgent care facility.

Urgent Care Guide for Kids

In a recent survey conducted with the Urgent Care Association, Solv observed that patients were waiting an average of 24 days for appointments with their primary care provider. In today's world of instant satisfaction, consumers expect more. They need it right now. If you want to see a movie right away, you can either download it or stream it. If you need groceries quickly, you can call and have them delivered within an hour.

As a result, pediatric urgent care in the United States has increased at a faster rate than any other type of healthcare. It's also why healthcare customers search for "urgent care" more than 5 times more than "primary care" or "family doctor" combined. These customers are highly motivated, seeking for "urgent care near me" with zeal. People want same-day access to great healthcare providers whether they are sick or injured - after hours, on weekends, and on holidays - without the cost and inconvenience of visiting to the emergency room.

Urgent Care Services & Pricing

Urgent care clinics, which are part of the walk-in clinic healthcare category, are a good option for consumers seeking treatment for minor illnesses and accidents. An urgent care clinic typically provides annual and school physicals, flu shots and immunizations, and treatment for ailments such as colds, flu stomach aches, sinus and ear infections, and more. You can also be treated for injuries such as burns, bites, sprains, and breaks, which you might believe should be taken to an emergency room rather than urgent care, but you'll wait less and pay less at urgent care. If you don't have insurance, your appointment should cost between $100 and 140 dollars, not counting transportation.

Insurance & Payments

Almost every urgent care facility accepts commercial insurance, and many (if not all) of them also accept Medicare. As a result, if you have insurance, the financial experience will be similar to seeing a specialist, where you will be charged a co-pay, which is typically $35-50, at the time of the visit. Any further lab work, x-rays, or other tests will be billed to your insurance first, with any remaining balance payable to you later. If you don't have health insurance, you'll have to pay a $100-140 visit fee at the time of your appointment. If you're considering a telehealth or video visit, expect to pay between 25 and 50 percent more than you would with your primary care provider, but the convenience is generally well worth the extra money.

Urgent Care Hours & Wait Times

Different urgent care locations, even within the same group or brand, may have different hours. While they're meant to be useful when your primary care physician isn't available, this is a highly subjective and variable assessment. An urgent care, on the other hand, is normally open 6 to 7 days a week, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., according to a regular formula. Between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., this might be any 8-12 hour period. Some clinics are even open 24 hours a day, similar to emergency rooms. In terms of wait time, most patients say they have to wait between 15 and 45 minutes on average, though this varies. It's usually better to choose a nearby urgent care center.
