Q. What is Care52?

Care52 is a discovery platform to help users find the best care provider including doctors, urgent care and ER’s. Care52 helps you book same-day doctor appointments, even if it’s outside of business hours or in a new, unfamiliar city. Care52 eliminates the hassle of going to urgent care by helping you skip waiting rooms, verifying insurance coverage, and allowing you to view prices for common health issues. We believe that everyday healthcare should be simple, costs should be transparent, and that patients deserve a great experience from start to finish.

Q. What types of medical issues can Care52 help with?

Care52 can help you find an appointment for health issues that don’t require a visit to the ER, but can’t wait until tomorrow. Common illnesses (sore throats, coughs, and ear pain), non-serious urgent conditions (fever, diarrhea, and vomiting), and other non-emergent issues that require medical attention (burns & cuts, sprains & strains, and broken bones) can be treated at the majority of our clinics. We do not currently offer appointments at mental health, primary care, or dental facilities. Please refer to when to call 911 if you think you might have a medical emergency.

Q. What can I expect when I arrive at the clinic?

Most patients are in and out within an hour of arriving to their Care52 appointment. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure enough time for check-in, including filling out any paperwork and submitting your insurance. As soon as the medical staff is ready to see you, the front desk will call you back to an exam room. Although our clinics do their best to see patients when they are scheduled, medical emergencies and visits that require more time than anticipated may cause delays.

Q. How much will my visit cost?

Urgent care visit costs are often similar to the cost of going to your doctor’s office. The price you pay for your visit will depend on the type of insurance you have, if you’ve met your deductible, and the cost of your copay. Copays often range from $20 – $75. Higher deductible plans may require you to pay for additional services until you reach your deductible. If you’re planning to pay out of pocket, Care52 provides estimates on expected costs so there are no financial surprises.

Q. Is there a fee for using Care52?

No, it is free for you to use Care52 to book an appointment. Patients are responsible for the charges associated with the services they receive during their visit.
