FAQs
Do I need an appointment?
You can walk in; no appointment or referral is required.
Do I need an appointment to visit a WellNow Urgent Care facility?
You are welcome to simply walk into any WellNow location. No appointment and no referral is required. Simply walk in or, if preferred, you can check in online at a WellNow center of your choice.
Do I need to bring anything with me when I visit?
Bring your health insurance card (if you plan to use insurance), photo ID and a list of any current medications. A copy of this information will be made for our files. If you have secondary insurance, bring that information as well so we can submit it on your behalf.
When should I go to an emergency room versus an urgent care or walk-in clinic?
WellNow treats many non-life-threatening conditions and has X-ray and on-site stitching as needed. However, go to a hospital emergency room for true emergencies or call 911.
