Do urgent care clinics in New York City accept Medicaid?

Yes. Most urgent care clinics across the five NYC boroughs accept New York's Medicaid program. Approximately 6.99 million New Yorkers are enrolled in Medicaid. Clinic-level participation varies — check the individual clinic page on Solv to confirm your plan is accepted before booking.

What's the difference between urgent care and an emergency room in NYC?

Emergency rooms treat life-threatening conditions — chest pain, stroke, severe trauma, major bleeding. Urgent care clinics handle non-emergency illness and injury: flu, strep, minor cuts, sprains, UTIs, and COVID-19 or flu testing. NYC's ERs average 6.1-hour wait times. Urgent care offers significantly shorter waits for conditions within its scope.

Can I walk in to urgent care in New York City without an appointment?

Yes. Most Solv-listed urgent care clinics in New York City accept walk-in patients without a prior appointment. Same-day online booking through Solv is also available and reduces in-clinic wait time, particularly during peak flu season when walk-in volume increases significantly.

Do urgent care clinics in New York City offer COVID-19 testing?

Yes. Most Solv-listed urgent care clinics in NYC offer both rapid antigen and PCR testing for COVID-19. Many locations also offer combination flu-COVID panels. Results are typically available within 15 minutes for rapid tests. Booking ahead through Solv is recommended during high-volume periods.

Which NYC boroughs have the most urgent care options?

Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens have the highest concentration of urgent care clinics. CityMD, GoHealth Urgent Care (Northwell Health), and Mount Sinai operate multi-borough networks. The Bronx and Staten Island have fewer locations but maintain coverage across major residential corridors.

Do NYC urgent care clinics offer occupational health or workers' compensation services?

Yes. CityMD and GoHealth Urgent Care, both widely listed on Solv in NYC, offer occupational health evaluations and workers' compensation visits. These services typically do not require a prior appointment. Check individual clinic pages on Solv to confirm occupational health availability at your nearest location.
