Benefits of Urgent Care |
• | PROPER TREATMENT |
| Our centers specialize in minor emergencies and are designed to promptly treat minor medical conditions before they become life-threatening. Life-threatening emergencies should always be directed to the ER. |
|
• | SHORTER WAIT TIMES |
| Waiting is a pain. At U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group, wait times are usually shorter than most patients experience at the ER. Life-threatening conditions are treated first, and then less serious cases such as colds, sprains, or minor cuts, are treated as ER provider time allows. |
|
• | SAVING MONEY |
| ER visits for non-life-threatening services may cost more than a visit to U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group. Overuse of the ER is one of the main reasons for the higher costs and rate increases for insurance premiums. U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group will generally cost you much less for the same service obtained at an ER. |
|
• | REFERRALS |
| Our physicians will make referrals for specialty or emergency care as indicated. |
