Insurance is one of the first things people check before an urgent care visit. Most patients want a simple answer. Is my insurance accepted? Can I use Medicaid? Is Medicare accepted? What if I do not have insurance?

Vitality Urgent Care provides care for children and adults and accepts many insurance plans. This includes major private carriers, Medicaid related plans, Medicare, and self pay options for patients without insurance.
