In our region, we have many options when it comes to healthcare. More people are depending on urgent care facilities to treat non-emergency conditions. With the average cost of an emergency room visit at $1,318, it would make sense to avoid the ER when possible.
Hospital emergency rooms are best at saving lives in critical situations. If you don’t feel well and can’t get in to see your regular physician, it’s best if you head over to an urgent care clinic like Emergency One.
Here are some of the medical issues that an urgent care clinic is equipped to help:
• Common cold and flu
• Sprains and strains
• Fever
• Sore throats
• Earaches
• Vomiting, Nausea and diarrhea
• Minor fractures
• Non-life threatening allergic reactions and asthma
Most insurance are accepted and copays run one-third to one-quarter the amount of an emergency room visit. Another big advantage to urgent care facilities is the ability to get in and out quickly. Most of the time, there will be little or no waiting time to see your healthcare professional.
Illness and injury don’t make appointments. When your non-emergency situations occur, you have a choice. Try Emergency One, you won’t be disappointed!
