Urgent care centers are a great healthcare option for both insured and non-insured patients as they treat a wide variety of non-life-threatening medical conditions (that are not chronic in nature) and offer self-pay rates on most services whether you have health insurance or not. With the rising costs of most health care plans and the increasing number of Americans without a health insurance plan through their employer or the government, urgent care centers offer high-quality, lower-cost, on-demand healthcare for everybody – regardless of if you have insurance or not.
