GOT URGENT CARE?

Urgent Care may be your

best choice!!

Four simple steps when using urgent care facilities.

1. You should seek care from an urgent care center when you have a medical condition that is not an emergency but requires medical attention that cannot be delayed without seriously jeopardizing your health.
2. You should go to an urgent care provider when you need non-emergency care the same day you cannot make an appointment with your Personal Physician. In such instances, you are encouraged to use an urgent care provider rather than a hospital emergency room to minimize your healthcare costs.
3. You should not use an urgent care provider in place of seeing your Personal Physician. Whenever possible, you should check first with your Personal Physician before contacting an urgent care provider.
4. If you have an emergency condition that requires immediate care, go to the closest emergency room or call 911.

Please note, if you have an HMO or POS plan and you are assigned to a medical group, please use their

contracted Urgent Care Facility.
