Patients with medical issues that need to be addressed immediately often think of contacting their primary care physician or going to the emergency room. However, there are inconveniences when visiting the hospital, such as their primary care doctor or specialist’s unavailability, the long queues at the emergency room, and the costly fees.

Urgent care services can address medical issues requiring immediate attention but are not life-threatening to require a trip to the emergency department.

What to Expect from Urgent Care Services?

Urgent care services are immediate medical treatments given to patients in an ambulatory care setting. These healthcare solutions are essential for addressing pressing medical issues that are not life-threatening but require immediate action as they can develop into a severe threat if treatment is delayed.

Medical conditions needing urgent care may include, but are not limited to:

• Cough and colds
• Sore throat
• Fever
• Minor allergies
• Skin rashes and infections
• Unexpected pain or inflammation
• Breathing difficulties such as mild to moderate asthma
• Vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration
• Minor injuries (sprains and strains, puncture wounds and lacerations, minor burns, etc.)

Urgent care services ensure patients receive prompt and personalized medical attention from urgent care specialists and health professionals. If a patient needs follow-up care with their primary care physician or a specialist, an urgent care summary can be provided to inform the doctor of the treatments given.

These services often provide patients affordable payment options, including the use of health insurance plans to help them lessen out-of-pocket expenditures.

Urgent Care vs. Emergency Care

It is vital to know that urgent care and emergency care are two different medical services. Urgent care addresses non-emergent health concerns, while emergency care attends to life-threatening conditions.

Here are a few examples of conditions that need emergency health services:

• Convulsions, seizures, or loss of consciousness
• Electrical shock
• Severe allergic reactions
• Newborn health concerns
• Pregnancy-related problems
• Poisoning
• Severe pain in specific parts of the body
• Stroke or heart attack symptoms
• Significant injuries (bone fracture, deep knife wounds, gunshot wounds, severe burns, etc.)

Severe medical issues must be treated without delay as these can permanently impair or endanger an individual’s life.
