Does urgent care in Dallas accept STAR (Medicaid)?

Yes. Most urgent care centers in Dallas accept STAR, Texas's Medicaid managed care program for children, pregnant women, and qualifying families. Dallas County is one of the largest STAR enrollment counties in Texas. CareNow, Concentra, Baylor Scott & White Urgent Care, and other major chains accept STAR across the Dallas metro. You can confirm insurance acceptance for any clinic when booking through Solv.

Why is Dallas County's uninsured rate so high?

Dallas County has a 23.6% uninsured rate — the highest in North Texas and well above the Texas statewide average of 16.7%, which is itself the highest in the nation. The primary driver is Texas's decision not to expand Medicaid: working adults without dependent children typically don't qualify regardless of income. Dallas County's large immigrant and Latino communities, who face higher uninsured rates, compound the issue. This is why Parkland Memorial — the county's safety-net hospital — runs the nation's busiest emergency department.

How long is the wait at urgent care vs. an ER in Dallas?

Dallas County hospital ERs have significant average wait times: Parkland Memorial averages approximately 5.7 hours, Baylor University Medical Center approximately 4.8 hours, and Methodist Dallas Medical Center approximately 3.9 hours — a nearly 4-hour spread across the county. Urgent care centers in Dallas typically see patients in under an hour for non-emergency conditions. For illnesses and injuries that don't require emergency care, urgent care is substantially faster and less costly.

What insurance do urgent care centers in Dallas accept?

Most Dallas urgent care centers accept STAR (Medicaid), Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, and Humana. Self-pay and uninsured patients are accepted at most locations, with transparent cash-pay pricing. Given Dallas County's high uninsured rate, many urgent care centers have experience working with uninsured patients and offer affordable options. Check the clinic's Solv listing to confirm your specific plan before booking.

When should I go to an ER instead of urgent care in Dallas?

Go to an emergency room or call 911 for chest pain, signs of stroke (sudden numbness, facial drooping, slurred speech), difficulty breathing, severe abdominal pain, major trauma, or any life-threatening emergency. Parkland Memorial, Baylor University Medical Center, and Methodist Dallas all have Level I trauma capabilities. For heat stroke during North Texas summers — body temperature above 103°F with confusion or loss of consciousness — call 911 immediately. For non-emergencies, urgent care is faster and more affordable.

Are there urgent care centers open after hours or on weekends in Dallas?

Yes. Most urgent care centers in Dallas are open on weekends, and many offer extended evening hours on weekdays. Hours vary by location — many operate from 8am to 8pm seven days a week. CareNow, Concentra, and other chains maintain consistent hours across their Dallas-area locations. Use Solv to check real-time hours, availability, and current wait times for Dallas urgent care centers, and book a same-day appointment to hold your spot.

Had been putting off seeing a doctor about a chronic intermittent problem but when it was getting worse decided on Doctors Urgent Care at Northlake as they have taken excellent care of me each time I went for a health problem. This time was no different, scheduling and check in very easy on the the internet. Staff as always showed their knowledge, care and compassion giving time when needed.

Took an hour from when I got there to when I left with nobody waiting in front of me or checked in. Young thin blonde receptionist was rude and unhelpful with check in process. Once I got to the back the NP was great and very helpful.

My son was exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19. I was able to book our appointment online, complete all the necessary paperwork digitally and when we arrived we waited for less than 2 minutes before we were called back. We chose to have him tested using the rapid test and we were able to wait in the room for his results. I appreciate their efficiency in our time of need.

The scheduling was easy. The diagnosis by Dr. Uzonna felt rushed and we felt like she ignored/missed the signs of an infection that only got worse overnight. We had to come back the next morning and see a different doctor who diagnosed the infection and prescribed antibiotics.

I’ve been going to All Care Clinic for almost 5 years, and there is a reason for that. Both Dr. Okojies are wonderful and Jessica (the PA) is a perfect addition. I genuinely feel cared for and they remember what we talked about on my last visit. Each nurse who works there is kind, happy and knowledgeable. I feel so lucky to call them my primary physician.
