Urgent Care
Acute illnesses and injuries can strike at any moment. When they do, it’s essential to get the care you need to begin the healing process. While going to your local hospital is an option, you’ll likely have to face long queues and waiting times, bureaucracy, high costs of treatment, and several other inconveniences. Choosing an urgent care center allows you to forego these inconveniences, which translates into faster, more efficient, and reliable treatment.
Innovative Urgent Care and Family Clinic in San Antonio, Boerne, Rockport, and Bandera, Texas offers diagnosis and treatment services for acute illnesses and injuries.
WHY PAY E.R. RATES FOR YOUR
URGENT CARE NEEDS?
There is an affordable alternative to emergency room visits for non-life-threatening health issues: Urgent Care Centers.
While a trip to the ER can cost thousands of dollars for a single visit, urgent care facilities offer the same care at a cost that’s typically a quarter of the price of an ER bill.
Also, compared to a visit to your primary care practitioner, the cost of urgent care is generally about the same.
(Note: All symptoms of chest pain or severe abdominal pain should call 911 or report to an emergency room for care.)
If you’re wondering what qualifies as acute illness, it’s anything that develops suddenly, for example, as a result of injury during physical sports or exposure to the flu virus.
