Better Value – SEK Urgent care fees resemble those of traditional primary care. Consistently ER visits are two, three, or more times costly than urgent care.
Save Time - Across the country, the average emergency room wait time is now 222 minutes — that's 3 hours, 42 minutes. ₁SEK urgent care typically registers, treats, and discharges a patient in less than 1 hour, while maintaining a warm and comfortable environment.
Lower Co-Payments - Many major insurance companies categorize urgent care facilities as primary care facilities, so co-payments may be substantially lower than co-payments required for a trip to the Emergency Room.
Non Emergent Visits - According to the Division of Health Care Statistics, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, only 15 percent of patients seen at hospital emergency rooms were truly emergency cases. This means approximately 85% of patients that go to an ER do not have a true medical emergency.
No Facility Fee - We submit your insurance claim and you receive a single bill. Emergency rooms and hospital owned urgent cares typically charge you both a facility fee and a fee for the physician’s service. So, not only are your charges much higher at the ER but you‘ll generally receive two bills!
The Bottom Line:
SEK Urgent Care offers a better value with minimal wait times in a warm comfortable environment.
