Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Is Urgent Care in New York?

The cost of urgent care in New York varies depending on whether you have health insurance. Urgent care costs will also depend on what coverage is provided by your insurance plan. The average cost of an urgent care visit tends to be about $100 to $150. The cost of an in-person visit can often be more costly than an online visit with one of our doctors. Our patients with in-network insurance typically pay $30, similar to their typical in-office copay or co-insurance. The cost of a self-pay appointment is $129.

Can Anyone Go to Urgent Care in New York?

Yes, typically anyone can go to urgent care, regardless of whether they have health insurance coverage. You cannot be refused care. However, an urgent care visit is not free. Many urgent care centers will have a fee sheet or fee schedule that provides some cost information upfront for common treatments. Note that urgent care does not treat emergency conditions. Serious, life-threatening injuries and illnesses, such as chest pain, a broken limb, or serious burn, are better left for the emergency room. Examples of conditions that urgent care can treat include colds, minor cuts and injuries, and urinary tract infections.

What to Do If You Need to Go to Urgent Care

If you need to go to urgent care, be sure to bring personal health information (such as what medications you are currently taking), personal identification, insurance information (if applicable), and payment. Note that life-threatening injuries and illnesses require going to the emergency room, rather than urgent care.

How Does Virtual Urgent Care Work in New York?

Virtual urgent care allows you to speak with a doctor online or by phone. With PlushCare, you can talk to a board-certified doctor about your urgent care needs via video or phone call on our mobile app or the computer. Here’s an overview of how a PlushCare appointment works. First, you will schedule an online appointment. Next, you will talk to a New York licensed doctor about your urgent care needs. The doctor will then make a diagnosis and personalized treatment plan, including prescriptions.

Can Urgent Care Prescribe Medication?

Yes, you can get prescription medication for non-controlled substances through an urgent care visit in New York. Depending on the situation, these may include antibiotics and antiviral medications. PlushCare can also prescribe medications not classified as controlled substances.
