Due to a in home accident l was there today around noon. Kara Saling, nurse practitioner needs to be on "kids stitch list!" That beautiful caring lady said it may pinch.. l felt barely a prick and absolutely nothing until she finished putting stitches in my browline. Her kind, patient skills and amazing technique is one KIDS would love but we all are privileged to receive her expertise. I have been to this location several times. Always treated with great service and respect.

Urgent Care FAQs

  • How much will an urgent care visit in Kentucky cost?

    The price charged at an urgent care, whether in Kentucky or elsewhere, will be based on the location, and there are no actual standard costs between the clinics. Assuming you are paying with cash, you might come across an urgent clinic that charges you $50 while another situated some mile away charges you $100 for the same services. The standard cost in urgent care where insurance cover is not involved ranges from $100 to $125. This price is generally the standard price of a visit before extra services. There are a couple of additional care services that could make your appointment to an urgent care costly including x-rays and lab tests, medications and injections (such as immunization), casting broken bones, as well as stitches and splints. If you have a viable insurance plan in place, the standard pay will be between $20 – 50 depending on your insurance coverage and whether you are in contact with the provider.

  • Are Kentucky urgent care centers open after hours?

    Most primary care doctor offices are open during routine work hours, Monday thru Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Conversely, most of the urgent care centers in Kentucky are available after hours, on weekends, and many holidays. Typical urgent care hours are 8:00 am to 8:00 pm daily, although location-specific hours may vary.

  • Do urgent care centers in Kentucky take appointments?

    Historically, urgent care centers were strictly an on-demand, walk-in healthcare service mode. More recently, as consumer behaviors and expectations have evolved, many urgent care clinics have begun offering book ahead visits, allowing consumers to select a same-day or next-day time that works best for their schedule. Use Solv to find a Kentucky urgent care center that offers advanced bookings (or appointments) and book online.

  • How do I book an appointment online with an urgent care in Kentucky?

    Solv allows Kentucky residents and visitors to book urgent care visits online with just a few taps. Same-day and next-day visit times are generally available, and you can search for real-time availability clinics.

  • How can I find an urgent care in Kentucky who takes my insurance?

    Solv allows you to find any of the urgent care and walk-in clinics in Kentucky, many of which accept most major commercial insurances. Just browse the clinics page to see if your carrier and plan is listed. If you are still unsure, it is best to contact the urgent care center directly for clarification.

  • Do Kentucky urgent care centers offer virtual visits or telemedicine?

    Many urgent care centers, including those in Kentucky, now offer virtual visits or telemedicine for residents and visitors throughout the state. Virtual urgent care visits are generally booked online whether in advance or on-demand. Clinics that do offer virtual care have a video icon on their profiles.

  • What is the best urgent care center in Kentucky?

    While it would be easy to provide a list of urgent care centers in and around Kentucky, 'best' is a challenging term to qualify. For some consumers, that could mean the closest location whereas other people may prioritize patient reviews, service costs, availability, or whether or not the provider accepts their insurance. With the list of locations above, use the filters provided to narrow the results to find the best urgent care for your needs.

  • What is Urgent Care?

    Urgent care is available to assist patients that are looking for immediate, convenient medical care. In that manner, they are similar to an emergency room. The difference, however, is that ERs are meant to treat major, life-threatening injuries and illnesses while urgent care centers manage life’s minor bruises and bumps. In simple terms, an urgent care is seen as a walk-in health center that focuses in offering non-emergent health care conditions, including the treatment of the typical illnesses and injuries such as fractures and sprains, cuts and burns, scrapes, stings and bites, flu and cold symptoms, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, and much more. Most urgent care facilities offer both diagnostic and preventive care such as well visits, immunizations, STD testing and annual physicals. For regular visits and check-ups on these clinics, you should expect to pay between $20 and $100. The good thing is that most urgent care clinics will accept major PPOs and insurance cover, Medicare, as well as self-pay in the form of credit cards or cash. Urgent care clinics are located in most parts of the country in various regions to offset emergency room visits and provide a gap in healthcare services. They take patients during all hours of operations, which offer a significant convenience to most people who have and continue to undergo the need for sudden and immediate medical attention.

Urgent Care in Kentucky

The state of Kentucky struggles to fight poverty that often creates barriers to adequate healthcare. Walk-in clinics and urgent care centers can help people of all incomes get the services that they need, but the state still needs to make improvements before everyone can feel secure. Louisville, the largest city in Kentucky, has the highest level of poverty. 34.8 percent of the people in Louisville have incomes below the poverty level. Overall, 23.6 percent of the state's residents live below the poverty level. To make matters even worse for Louisville, 13.7 percent of residents have incomes below 50 percent of the poverty level.

Healthcare in Kentucky

Kentucky was one of the first states to start working on a healthcare exchange network in accordance with the Affordable Care Act. The state's governor, Steve Beshear, says that the network will help more than 600,000 Kentuckians access the insurance coverage they need to receive comprehensive care at affordable prices.

Urgent Care in Kentucky

Regardless of whether one has health insurance, walk-in clinics and urgent care centers offer a lower-cost option to visiting emergency rooms. Many low-income residents of Kentucky and other states wait until they become extremely sick before seeking assistance. This often means that they rely on expensive emergency rooms for illnesses that a doctor could have prevented easily and inexpensively. Urgent care centers usually stay open much later than doctor's offices, giving people access to medications, diagnoses, and other services without forcing them to visit the ER. Retail clinics, such as those located within CVS and Walgreen's locations, offer additional affordable healthcare access points for medications, vaccinations, and medical advice.
