Healthcare is one of the most important needs that we have but unexpected costs, or a change in insurance enrollment, can sometimes make it hard. Luckily, patients can trust that an urgent care center and walk-in clinic offers affordable rates and covers most insurances.

At AFC Urgent Care Centennial, we understand that it is not always easy to determine your costs or enrollment status. Some providers don’t fully cover services even with some insurance plans while others don’t accept certain plans. Below, our team will help you navigate some of the most common questions about healthcare coverage, urgent care insurance coverage, and payment for urgent care.

And if you have any questions about urgent care coverage or benefits, always consult your health insurance provider and our team by calling directly.

Self-pay questions and affordable rates for urgent care

Urgent care centers and local walk-in clinics are usually a more cost-effective option for patients, whether or not they have insurance. In fact, urgent care centers are known to provide affordable rates for services that are a fraction of the price at a hospital or larger provider facility.

 The first thing patients should understand is that self-pay options are always available, even when you don’t have insurance. Some providers require some form of health insurance before they can have patients come in for treatment. But urgent care centers allow all patients to come in and pay out-of-pocket for their urgent care costs.
