This thing about the Urgent Care Center co-pays being $30 sounds greats, provided they diagnose you correctly. I went to one, was misdiagnosed,and sent to one of the NS-LIJ ER's via ambulance. The ER doctor gave me a different diagnosis and an Rx, and I got better.....but I'll receive bills for the Urgent Care Center, ER, the ambulance etc.
In response to November 19 at 9:01 am - In-System Urgent Care Centers are staffed with qualified healthcare professionals. If you were sent to a hospital-setting/emergency room it was because they could not adequately treat your condition. The Urgent Center copay will be $40 and the ER visit will be $100. These costs change in 2015 ($30 for In-System Urgent Care, In-Network/United Healthcare remains the same at $40, ER visits go to up in 2015 to $150, waived if admitted within 2 hours). Your ambulance transportation is 100% covered and will be in 2015. Hope this response helps and you are in good health.
Clarification from the above post: an emergency room visit fee is waived if you are admitted within 24 hours not 2 hours as stated above.
So, if I use an Urgent Care center that is in Network with United Healthcare I am only responsible for the $40 copay? Are those charges subject to a deductible? (Hopefully I won't need to utilize this benefit at all, but if I do the in system urgent care centers are quite a distance from where I live)
In response to November 20 at 10:32 - That's correct, an In-Network Urgent Care Center (one that accepts United Healthcare) is a $40 copay, with no deductible and no coinsurance. Be on the lookout for many new in-system urgent care centers in our communities in 2015.Visit gohealthuc.com
