How much is a typical visit?

Our prices are simple & transparent. If you have insurance, we collect your deductible and/or your co-pay at the time of service, and then bill your insurer for you. After your insurer sends an EOB (explanation of benefits) to us, AFC Urgent Care will bill you for any balance due after benefits.

How much will the visit cost if I have no insurance?

There is a range of costs for the office visit depending on the complexity of the medical problem. We discount all of our rates for patients without medical insurance.

If I have insurance, will I get a bill after my visit?

Our fees are fixed, but the amount that your insurance company covers depends on your specific plan, coverage and deductible. After your insurer produces an EOB (explanation of benefits), if there is a balance due, we will bill you for the remaining balance.

What type of medical treatment do you provide?

We specialize in fast and effective physician care, for most non-life threatening conditions due illness or injury, as well as preventive care, travel medicine, and employer services. We bridge the gap between a primary care physician and the ER, providing extended hours, seven days a week, with labs, digital x-ray, splints & braces and some vaccines.

However, if you have a life-threatening condition or emergency, you should always call 911 and seek a hospital ER.
