Hospitals and Other Facilities
You can get care from one of our many in-network hospitals, labs, imaging centers and other facilities. They offer quality care while keeping your out-of-pocket costs low.
Urgent Care Centers
When you have an injury or illness that isn’t life-threatening and you can’t see your doctor, an Urgent Care Center can often treat you faster with lower out-of-pocket costs than an Emergency Room (ER).
With evening and weekend hours, Urgent Care Centers treat wounds, sprains and other health issues that need quick care.
You do not need a referral to go to a participating Urgent Care Center, but you must pay your copayment, coinsurance and/or deductible.
Please note: Routine office visits, including preventive care, sports physicals, routine obstetric services, occupational medicine and physical therapy services are not covered at participating Urgent Care Centers.
Learn how to decide whether to visit an ER or an Urgent Care Center.
