Benefits of Urgent Care Centers
We have partnered with CareWell, an urgent care center (UCC).
You can go to CareWell and most UCCs for non-life-threatening injuries instead of going to the emergency room (ER). CareWell is an alternative to a primary care visit, especially if you need care after your primary care provider's office hours.
The benefits of a UCC are:
- Shorter wait time
- Less expensive than an ER visit (it typically costs the same as a primary care visit)
- No appointments needed
Before going to a UCC, you should contact your primary care provider to find out your best option. To find UCCs in our provider network, use our Find a Doctor, Hospital or Pharmacy tool.
