Insurance info and self-pay pricing

When we handle billing for an auto accident or worker’s compensation injury, we will bill one primary insurance source. To process your claim correctly, please provide the claim number at the time of your visit. Please note that you will be responsible for any charges not covered by the primary insurance.

If you don’t have your insurance card or information when you come into Vitality Urgent Care, you may use our Self-Pay Program and pay for your care. If you provide us with your insurance information within 48 hours, we will process a refund for any balance owed to you after your insurance has paid. However, you may be responsive for additional fees if your insurance determines higher responsibility then our affordable self pay pricing.
