If you have an emergency that is not immediately life or limb threatening you should explore every means available before choosing this destination.

This should be your last choice, and at admitting, you need to grill, absolutely grill the people there for verification of "in-network coverage". Then, you need to make sure everyone working there that is treating you is also "in network"!

On January 11th I slipped on an icy driveway and cut my forehead just above the eyebrow, about 1-1/2 inches long. Three X-Rays, a half ml of superglue, and two steristrips later I have bills totaling in excess of $3,500.00, and that's after insurance. The latest of which I just received, four months later.

I know when you're hurting and bleeding issues like this are not on the forefront of thought. But if you or a loved-one are reading this on your way there call your insurance company and get the location of an urgent care facility, chances are your total out of pocket will be just your co-pay. Learn from my mistake!
