Urgent Care Clinics Accepting Medicare

If you have Medicare and need prompt medical attention, you may wonder whether your visit to Fast Aid Urgent Care will be covered. The good news is that Medicare generally covers urgent care visits, including those at Fast Aid Urgent Care, as long as our facility accepts Medicare insurance.

If you are enrolled in Original Medicare (Part B), you can expect coverage for medically necessary services provided during your visit to Fast Aid Urgent Care. This typically includes the provider’s evaluation, diagnostic tests, and any treatments you receive. Keep in mind, you are responsible for the standard Medicare Part B deductible and coinsurance. In most cases, this means you’ll pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for your care after your deductible is met.

Before your visit, we recommend confirming that Fast Aid Urgent Care participates in Medicare. While our clinic accepts many major insurance plans, including Medicare, not all urgent care centers do. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan (Part C), your coverage and out-of-pocket costs may differ, and you could have access to additional benefits. Always check with your Medicare Advantage plan and with our front desk staff to verify coverage details, copays, or any additional charges.

We understand that urgent medical needs can arise unexpectedly. If you are a Medicare beneficiary, you can feel confident knowing that Medicare provides coverage for a wide range of urgent care services when you experience a sudden, non-life-threatening illness or injury that requires prompt attention.

When you visit Fast Aid Urgent Care, Medicare Part B generally covers medically necessary services such as:
● Evaluation by our healthcare providers
● Diagnostic tests (like X-rays or lab work)
● Certain treatments and procedures are performed during your visit

This coverage is similar to what you’d receive at your regular doctor’s office, rather than an emergency room. No referral is needed for Medicare patients to be seen at Fast Aid Urgent Care. However, you must receive care from a provider who accepts Medicare assignment—and we do! After you’ve met your annual Part B deductible, you are typically responsible for 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for your visit.

Medicare Advantage (Part C) Plans
If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, your costs or network requirements might be different. We recommend reviewing your plan’s urgent care policies or calling your plan’s member services for details about coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses.

Medicare covers urgent care services at Fast Aid Urgent Care for sudden illnesses or injuries that are not life-threatening, as long as the services are medically necessary and you see a participating provider. Be sure to bring your Medicare card, and contact us or your plan if you have questions about coverage or costs.

What to Bring to Fast Aid Urgent Care:

● Your Medicare Card: Bring your red, white, and blue Medicare card as proof of coverage. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan (such as an HMO or PPO), be sure to bring your plan’s specific insurance card instead.

● Medication List: Prepare a list of all your current medications, including dosages, frequency, and any over-the-counter supplements. This allows our healthcare providers to avoid interactions and provide the safest care.

● Medical History: Bring a brief summary of your medical history, including allergies, chronic conditions, recent surgeries, or hospitalizations. If you have recent test results or relevant medical records, bringing copies can be helpful.

● Physician Information: Have the names and contact details of your primary care physician and any specialists you see. This information helps us coordinate your care and send necessary updates.

● Method of Payment: Bring a credit card, debit card, or checkbook in case there are copays or charges not covered by Medicare.
