Urgent Care

Written By Amy Tsai

Many people often go to urgent care because they believe that it is the fastest way to get a same day visit. Though this is true, you may receive a larger bill than you would have if you’ve gone to see your primary care provider instead. Knowing signs of when you should seek urgent care will not only help you find the best treatment, but also help you save money and reduce the financial stress that family caregivers often experience.
