How Much Does a Walk-In Clinic Cost Without Insurance?

How much will it cost to visit a walk-in clinic without insurance?

Medical care can be expensive. When you don’t have insurance, high out-of-pocket costs can make it easy to put off getting the care you may need. But this can turn a minor illness or injury into a visit to an emergency room or urgent care facility if not addressed in a timely manner. Both options can be costly.

Walk-in clinics are an affordable option for non-emergency care. 

What determines the charges for MinuteClinic services?

What MinuteClinic charges for your visit will depend on the types of services you receive. In general, the reason for your visit determines the price range. But tests and extra services may increase your payment responsibility.

Your provider will determine the number of conditions and symptoms you have, as well as which services apply to your visit. Your final payment responsibility depends on your insurance coverage and the contents of your visit. You can check our pricing list for more information. But if you feel unclear on anything, our MinuteClinic providers will gladly answer any questions you may have.
