You can go to an urgent care center for an illness or injury that needs treatment right away. Examples are minor sprains, cuts and ear, nose and throat infections. Covered Services include the doctor’s services. You may have to pay a separate copay or coinsurance for other services you get during a visit.

If an urgent care center is located in a hospital, benefits may also be subject to the calendar year deductible and coinsurance for related facility fees charged by the hospital.
Urgent Care Centers. Non-urgent medical conditions can generally wait to be treated by scheduled appointment with your PCP. Medical Emergencies that require immediate medical attention should go to the nearest Emergency Room. Urgent Care Centers may be a good option when you are unable to reach your PCP after routine office hours and you need medical attention that cannot wait until the next day but is not a medical emergency.
