FAQs
Do I need an appointment or a referral for a walk-in center?

Which walk-in center do I go to?

Or, call the Customer Service phone number on your member ID card and we can help you out.
What kind of care can I get at a walk-in center?
The doctors and nurses at these centers can help you with all kinds of things such as minor cuts and burns, sprains and strains, sports injuries, sore throats, earaches and the flu. Some centers do X-rays or run other tests on site and can let you know quickly if you need more specialized care.
How much does it cost to go to a walk-in center?
For most plans you'll pay a specialist copay. To find out your specific costs and what you're covered for, call the Customer Service number on your member ID card.
What is a walk-in center?
They're doctor's offices or clinics that take patients without an appointment. They're usually open longer hours including evenings and weekends. That's why these centers are a smart choice when you need care quickly and can't get an appointment at your primary doctor's office or it's after regular business hours (usually 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

"Showed up at 4:55 expecting to get my blood drawn... Sign on the window said “new hours” closing at 5. The girl at the desk said “sorry, it’s too late”. I would recommend that this business updates its website with accurate hours."
