Frequently Asked Questions
How Much is Urgent Care in Florida?
The cost of Florida urgent care varies depending on the clinic or treatment center. The amount will also depend on the specific treatment. Our patients with in-network insurance will typically pay $30 for an online doctor appointment, and self-pay patients pay $129 for an appointment.
Do I Need a Referral to Go to Urgent Care in Florida?
No, you do not need a referral to go to urgent care in Florida. Since urgent care needs require prompt medical attention, a referral from a doctor or primary care physician is not required. With PlushCare, you do not need a referral to see an online doctor for urgent care treatment. We make it fast, easy, and convenient for you to speak with a Florida doctor through your mobile phone or computer.
Can Urgent Care Prescribe Antibiotics?
Yes, urgent care can typically prescribe antibiotics, as well as antiviral medications. Doctors at PlushCare can prescribe non-controlled substances and medications for your urgent care needs. The doctor will determine your diagnosis and provide you with a treatment plan (which may include antibiotics or medication, depending on the situation) to support your health and well-being.
Will Urgent Care Treat Me Without Insurance?
Yes, urgent care will typically treat you without insurance. However, this does not mean that urgent care is free, and you usually have to pay upfront. Most urgent care clinics will have a list of fees for typical treatments provided. PlushCare can treat you even if you do not have medical insurance or a health plan. Using PlushCare may be more affordable than a typical in-person urgent care, depending on the situation.
Should I Go to Urgent Care or the ER?
You should go to the emergency room (ER) for serious and life-threatening injuries, illnesses, and conditions. Examples of reasons to go to the ER include chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe burns, and major injuries (such as broken bones). You should go to urgent care for minor, less severe illnesses and injuries. Examples of conditions that can be treated through urgent care include colds, sinus infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and bacterial infections.
