Please visit our service price list and insurance information page to see detailed pricing and insurance breakdowns. At CVS MinuteClinic®, most insurance plans are accepted. We recommend contacting your insurance company prior to your visit to be sure that the service you are seeking will be covered. How much you will have to pay out of pocket will depend on your insurance coverage. If you do not have insurance or prefer to pay out of pocket, you may pay with cash, card, or check.

The Riverside area teems with opportunities for you to get in tune with nature, explore cultural and historical niches, soak in sights of local wildlife and enjoy fabulous food and wine.

But what happens if you get hurt or sick on one of those adventures? Say that you’re hiking at Rosa Hartman Park and strain a muscle. Or you’re looking forward to a night in New York City, but your allergies keep you sneezing.

MinuteClinic® may be the solution. Our medical professionals can dive in at a moment’s notice seven days a week to help with minor illnesses, injuries and skin conditions. What’s more, we administer vaccinations, do pre-travel consultations and focus on women’s services. Find our clinic about halfway between the Mianus River and Rosa Hartman Park. We’re right off Interstate 95.

Wait times posted online and other conveniences

Walk-in availability seven days a week and on evenings and weekends is great, but what if the lines happen to be long? No problem! Just check our MinuteClinic® website for the approximate wait time. If it’s too lengthy, you often have the option to schedule an appointment for later in the day, effectively “holding” your place in line.

You may also be able to schedule an appointment for another day. So, if you need to be seen right away, you might prefer to just walk in, but if it’s a flu shot or sports physical that you want, making an appointment may fit better with your lifestyle (you can still walk in for these reasons, though!).

Our other planning/convenience aids include:

• Online price lists so you can see treatment and procedure costs upfront
• Affordable prices to help you budget
• Preliminary insurance plan check online (we accept most insurance plans and welcome uninsured patients)
• Payment options that include online pay, credit card, check and cash
• Visit summary sent to your doctor (with your OK)
• Location inside CVS Pharmacy® for streamlined access to prescriptions, other medications and health care items

Cough, poison ivy, flu shots, even ear wax removal: Many reasons to visit the clinic

Our MinuteClinic® specializes in family health care. If you or your children (at least 18 months old) need help with conditions such as allergies, pink eye, nausea, diarrhea, mouth pain, STDs, strains, sprains, joint pain or bug bites or stings, we should be able to help. The same idea goes for skin conditions such as shingles, sunburn, lice, impetigo, poison ivy and poison oak, ringworm and mouth sores.

Of course, part of family health care is preventing serious conditions. To that end, we administer flu shots and vaccinations to protect against pneumonia, meningitis, polio, tetanus and other illnesses. Our women’s services include birth control care, pregnancy evaluations and treatment for various infections.

Here’s a sampling of what else we offer:

• Physicals for college and sports
• General medical exams
• One-time medication renewals
• TB testing
• Titers and immunity testing
• Pre-travel consultations
• Help with avoiding traveler’s diarrhea and motion sickness
• Help with conditions such as asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure
