What should you do if your primary doctor is not available? The emergency rooms are open 24/7, but are expensive and time-consuming. An urgent care center can be the best place to go if your needs are not life-threatening. Do urgent care centers accept Medicaid? Find out if urgent care centers are covered by Medicaid.

Takeaways from the conference:

  • Medicaid coverage for urgent-care centers is dependent on the state in which you are covered. Not all Medicaid plans in every state cover urgent care.
  • Medicaid-covered patients may have to pay out of pocket for expenses like copays, deductibles and coinsurance. It depends on the plan.
  • Most major insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare, as well as private insurance plans, are accepted by urgent care centers. Verify coverage with your insurance company.
  • Seek immediate medical care at an emergency department if you are experiencing a life-threatening situation.

What is urgent medical care?

AFC urgent care center is a medical treatment facility that provides outpatient care to patients in an emergency situation. Urgent care centers offer an alternative to emergency departments and primary care physicians. Many urgent care centers are open at extended hours and do not require an appointment.

Urgent Care can treat minor illnesses and injuries. This can help patients to avoid emergency rooms. Urgent care centers don’t treat serious injuries or illnesses. Emergency rooms are best for treating these situations.

Does Medicaid cover urgent care?

Medicaid covers urgent care services based on your location and the type care you receive . Federal Medicaid guidelines say that all states cover physician services. Each state can decide to offer clinic services as an optional benefit. Medicaid coverage through Kaiser, for example, is available in eight States and the District of Columbia. However only Georgia and California offer urgent care services.

You must go to an urgent care center owned by Kaiser if you reside in one of these states and you have Medicaid via Kaiser. If an urgent care center is a rural clinic service, or a federally-qualified health center, they must accept Medicaid.

What other insurances are accepted by urgent care?

Urgent care clinics accept most health insurance plans. This includes Medicare and private insurance plans. Deductibles, co-pays and coinsurance will vary depending on the plan.

Medicare

Medicare Part B provides coverage for urgent care visits. You will have to pay 20% of the Medicare approved amount for urgent care after you meet the $226 Medicare Part B deductible. You may be required to pay a copayment for your visit.

Private Insurance

Urgent care centers accept most private insurance plans. Urgent care visits may have a higher co-payment than primary care. The co-payment amount and this amount may vary depending on the details of your insurance plan.

Can urgent care refuse insurance?

It is rare for urgent care to refuse insurance. If they refuse to accept your insurance, you will still be able to receive treatment. However, you may have pay the full amount upfront. You may be able to claim reimbursement from your insurer in these cases.

You can ask the urgent care facility that you are planning to visit if it accepts your insurance. You can also call your insurance company and ask about urgent care coverage.

What services can I get covered by Medicaid in urgent care centers?

Medicaid coverage varies by state. Urgent care centers are also covered differently . You should also be aware that not all urgent-care facilities provide the same level of care. You may need x-rays or lab tests, but the facility that you visit might not provide these services. To find out if these services are covered by Medicaid, contact your provider.

Medicaid Patients’ Out-of pocket costs at Urgent Care

Costs for Medicaid patients who visit urgent care are higher than those of primary care providers, but lower than emergency room visits. It also depends on the services rendered. Testing, such as a lab test or x-rays, will increase your out-of pocket cost.

The out-of pocket cost is also affected by coinsurance, deductibles and copays. You can avoid the need for urgent care centers by receiving regular care and following your primary care provider’s advice.

FAQ

What is the difference between an urgent care and an emergency room?

Emergency rooms and urgent care are two different things. Urgent care centers treat patients with illnesses and injuries when they cannot see their primary provider, but the situation is not life-threatening. Emergency rooms are only used in life-threatening situations.

Is urgent care covered by health insurance?

Urgent care centers accept private insurance, Medicaid and Medicare. Your plan will determine the coverage and costs. For more information on urgent care coverage, contact your health insurance provider.

What is the cost of urgent care for Medicaid patients

Medicaid patients’ cost for urgent care is affected by several factors. Your plan and the care you receive will have a major impact on your cost. The cost of your visit will increase if you need to have testing done, like x-rays and lab work. The cost of your visit is also affected by the medications you receive.
