Urgent Care FAQ

What is the difference between urgent care and the emergency room?

Urgent care is for non-life-threatening conditions that still require prompt attention, such as minor injuries, flu, sprains, or infections, while the emergency room is for severe, life-threatening issues like chest pain, difficulty breathing, or serious injuries. Southern Immediate Care is an ideal choice for non-emergency medical needs, offering quick, efficient, and affordable care without the long wait times of the ER.

Are urgent care visits covered by insurance?

Insurance typically covers non-life-threatening issues like minor fractures, infections, and flu symptoms, but it's important to confirm specific coverage details with your provider. Southern Immediate Care works with most major insurers and offers competitive self-pay options for those without insurance.

Can urgent care prescribe medication?

Yes, urgent care providers can prescribe medications, such as antibiotics, pain relievers, and other treatments to address your condition. At Southern Immediate Care, our experienced team provides fast, personalized care, assessing your needs and prescribing the appropriate medication, which is sent directly to your pharmacy for quick access.
