Urgent Care Doctors Accepting New Patients in Merced, CA

When choosing an urgent care center to receive care from, there are some important things to verify so that consider so you can get the treatment you need conveniently and affordably. With that in mind, some of those things to consider include the following:

• Does the urgent care clinic accept your health insurance plan?
• Is the urgent care clinic located in an area you can get to when you need urgent medical care?
• What type of medical providers work at the urgent care clinic?
• What are the hours of operation at the urgent care clinic? Are they open at hours that are convenient for you?
• Does the urgent care clinic provide telemedicine services in case you cannot make it to the clinic for an appointment?
• Will the urgent care clinic share information from my appointment with my primary care provider?

One of the best features of an urgent care appointment is that you do not need to schedule an appointment before coming to the clinic to see a doctor! Urgent care clinics allow patients to make appointments on a walk-in basis. As such, all you need to do is come to an urgent care clinic when you are dealing with a medical concern that requires urgent care.

On that note, it is also important to know that urgent care clinics lack the equipment and resources required to treat life-threatening medical emergencies properly. Emergency rooms are the only medical facility with the resources and equipment to treat life-threatening emergencies safely.

In general, urgent care services are covered by medical insurance plans. With that being said, you should check in with the urgent care clinic before your appointment to make sure they accept your particular insurance plan.

If you don’t have insurance, urgent care clinics are still a good option, as their services are significantly less expensive than emergency room services.
