Where To Go for Care

A new freestanding emergency room just popped up around the corner. There’s a walk-in retail clinic and an urgent care center right by your supermarket. Two different hospitals are also nearby. It can be hard to know where to go for care when you have a stomachache, a fever, or even an emergency like heart palpitations with all these options.

The infographic below can help you decide your best course of action, depending on the nature of your medical situation.

Labs, Imaging and Surgical Centers

When you use in-network independent labs, imaging, and surgical centers, you can get the same quality care you'd get in hospitals for a lot less. Be sure and talk with your doctor about alternatives for your procedures outside of the hospital. Make sure to never get out-of-network care.
