Convenient Care

Service Description

HOURS Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm Saturday 8:00am-1:00pm ​ HOW DOES CONVENIENT CARE WORK? Memorial Hospital’s Walk-In Clinic is open to everyone Monday-Saturday. No appointment is needed. A clinical assistant will perform an initial assessment. The clinical assistant and/or Medical Provider shall have final authority in determining whether the patient’s medical condition qualifies them for treatment in Convenient Care. If the patient does not qualify, they will be offered Emergency Care. If the patient does qualify, they will be charged for this service at a reduced rate. Any lab tests or medications given are at an additional cost. Additional lab work or imaging may be necessary and will be charged separately. These services can be done at Memorial Hospital, located right next to Convenient Care. If the patient becomes worse and needs to be treated in the Emergency Department, charges will be billed at the regular Emergency Department rate. In order to do Convenient Care at a reasonable cost, the patient is always asked for the Convenient Care co-pay the day of treatment. WHY CHOOSE CONVENIENT CARE? 1. Emergency Room claims can be denied because the insurance company determines them to be “non-emergent”, which leaves the patient responsible for the bill. 2. Convenient Care is billed at a lower rate to your insurance provider or to you. 3. You can be seen quickly for illnesses or injuries that do not require emergency care. 4. You can even be seen on Saturdays.
