When you visit Universal Urgent Care, please bring your insurance card and a valid photo ID to help us process your coverage efficiently. Because insurance benefits and coverage can vary based on individual plans and the services provided, we recommend that you contact our office directly or reach out to your insurance provider before your visit to verify that your plan is accepted and to clarify any copays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket expenses. For patients without insurance, Universal Urgent Care offers affordable self-pay options and transparent pricing for our services. Our staff is happy to provide information on costs and payment options to ensure you get the care you need.

Before visiting Universal Urgent Care, it’s important to confirm whether your insurance plan is accepted to help avoid unexpected expenses. Here are some simple steps to follow:

• Contact Your Insurance Company: Start by calling the customer service number on the back of your insurance card. Ask the representative if Universal Urgent Care is considered in-network for your specific plan. Be sure to provide our full name along with our address and specialty (urgent care services) to ensure the information you receive is accurate.
• Check Your Insurance Company’s Website: Most insurance companies offer an online directory of participating providers. Log in to your insurance account and search for “Universal Urgent Care” by name or by our location. This will help you confirm if we are included in your plan’s network.
• Call Us Directly: Our staff is happy to help you verify your coverage. Call our office and provide your insurance details, including your plan name and type. We can let you know if we accept your specific insurance plan, as some insurers offer multiple plans, and coverage can vary.
• Request Written Confirmation: Whenever possible, get written documentation that Universal Urgent Care is in-network for your insurance. This could be an email from our office or a printout from your insurance company’s provider directory.
 
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us—we’re here to help you navigate your insurance and get the care you need.

When scheduling an appointment, we highly recommend providing your insurance information during the booking process. Supplying your insurance details ahead of time allows our team to verify your coverage, confirm if Universal Urgent Care is in-network for your plan, and estimate any out-of-pocket costs you may be responsible for. This helps us streamline your check-in process and minimize wait times during your visit, as well as avoid unexpected charges.
 
If you are unable or prefer not to provide your insurance information when scheduling, you are still welcome to book an appointment. However, please be aware that you may be responsible for payment at the time of service or required to provide your insurance details before we can process your claim.
 
If you have any questions about whether your insurance is accepted at Universal Urgent Care, please don’t hesitate to contact our office. Our staff is happy to help you navigate the process and ensure you have a smooth experience.

Before visiting us, it’s important to know whether your insurance plan will cover your urgent care services. Start by reviewing your insurance policy documents or summary of benefits—these typically explain what types of care are included, such as urgent care visits, and outline any copays or out-of-pocket costs you may be responsible for.
 
Check your policy for sections related to urgent care, walk-in clinics, or emergency services. You can also visit your insurance provider’s website to search for covered services or to find a list of in-network urgent care centers.  If you’re unsure about your coverage, call the customer service number on your insurance card. When you speak with your insurance representative, ask the following:
 
• Are urgent care visits at Universal Urgent Care covered by my plan?
• Do I need pre-authorization before my visit?
• What are my expected out-of-pocket costs, such as copays or deductibles?
• Is Universal Urgent Care considered in-network for my plan?
 
Confirming that Universal Urgent Care is in-network can help you avoid higher charges or limited coverage that may apply to out-of-network facilities. Keep in mind that some employer-sponsored or state-specific insurance plans may have unique rules about urgent care coverage. Clarifying these details with your insurer before your visit is always a good idea. For your records, save any information you receive from your insurance company about your coverage—this can help prevent misunderstandings when you receive care at Universal Urgent Care.
