A walk-in clinic is any medical facility that accepts patients on a walk-in basis with no appointment required. Here are some examples:
You can go to walk-in clinic for the same health problems you normally see your primary care doctor for, when they aren t available.
A walk-in clinic is an intermediate medical facility between a regular doctor s office and an emergency room (ER) for problems that require prompt care but don t constitute true emergencies.
Here are some examples of symptoms that are considered appropriate for evaluation at walk-in clinics:
A walk-in clinic costs at least 40% less than an urgent care clinic. A walk-in clinic is considered a more affordable option than urgent care clinics and emergency rooms. This is important for both self-pay and insured patients.
And it s is especially important for insured people with a high deductible.
Health insurance companies code and pay for the same type of visit (based on complexity) differently for an urgent care clinic than for a walk-in clinic. The charge by an urgent care clinic is 40% (at small facilities) to 120% (bigger facilities negotiate higher reimbursements) higher than at walk-in clinics. Emergency rooms charge even more.
Unlike for urgent care clinics, the billing codes for walk-in clinics are the same as for primary care physician offices the lowest possible.
This means that if you have a high-deductible plan, it is most affordable to be seen at a walk-in clinic rather than an urgent care clinic or emergency room. If you re not sure about your plan payment policy, your best bet is to go a walk-in clinic.
All patients are seen by a board-certified doctor
Walk-in clinics are criticized for providing low-quality care compared to emergency rooms. This happens because most walk-in clinics are staffed and run solely by mid-level practitioners: nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs). NPs and PAs get significantly less training than doctors, and that can affect quality of care.
However, at Walk-in Clinic NY, all patients are seen by a board-certified internal medicine physician who has been in practice for 20 years.
