What is a walk-in clinic? How do they work?

A walk-in clinic is a specific non-ambulatory medical setting where a patient can receive medical care without the need for an appointment. Basically, a patient doesn’t need an appointment to receive multiple types of services including lab tests and x-rays that normally require an appointment. Simply just come in whenever you need any of the walk-in services available at AFC Urgent Care Back Bay.

Walk-in clinics are staffed with highly-qualified providers that can coordinate acute treatment, perform tests, assess overall health, and provide the best possible outcomes. Walk-in clinics are not designed to treat emergency situations such as fatal wounds, asphyxiation, and other critical medical emergencies. Medical emergencies should always be taken to an ER for treatment.

When you start to feel unwell, have illness symptoms like nausea, or need to get a lab test, a walk-in clinic is an excellent option for your healthcare needs.

What are the benefits of a walk-in clinic for patients?

A walk-in clinic also aims to provide a more convenient medical experience for patients at a lower cost than an ER or hospital visit. ERs and hospitals usually have long wait times due to overcrowding and some patients are visiting the ER when they don’t need to. Patients waiting for minor treatments along with the patients that need priority life-saving emergency care can lead to long wait times. Many times, depending on the location or specialist needed, it can lead to higher costs.

Avoid all those major stressors at a walk-in clinic like AFC Urgent Care Back Bay. We are contracted with all major insurance companies and offer low self-pay rates for services. Additionally, average wait times are far lower than an ER whenever you need mild to moderate treatment or testing.
