When visiting Express Health Urgent Care, please remember to bring your insurance card. Having your insurance card available ensures that the medical care and services you receive are accurately billed to your insurance provider. At Express Health Urgent Care, our priority is delivering fast, efficient, and convenient patient care. Providing your insurance information upfront helps streamline the check-in process, reduces unnecessary wait times, and allows our staff to quickly verify your coverage. If you visit without your insurance card, this may result in delays while we confirm your coverage, or you may be required to pay upfront and subsequently submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

Express Health Urgent Care in East Harlem is committed to providing accessible and convenient care for patients who need immediate medical attention. To accommodate our community’s busy schedules, we typically offer extended operating hours, including evenings and weekends, ensuring reliable medical services beyond traditional clinic times. Hours of operation may vary based on the day of the week, holidays, or special circumstances. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding our current hours, we recommend contacting Express Health Urgent Care directly by phone.

At Express Health Urgent Care, we understand that navigating healthcare without insurance can feel overwhelming. However, it’s important to remember that you still have accessible and affordable options for quality medical care.

We offer transparent, affordable pricing for patients who are uninsured or underinsured. Our goal is to ensure you receive timely, high-quality care without the worry of unexpected medical bills. Our staff is always available to discuss your financial situation openly, and we provide upfront pricing and payment options to help you manage healthcare costs effectively.

In addition, many communities have clinics and health centers offering reduced-cost or sliding-scale fees based on your income and financial situation. These local health centers provide primary care, preventive services, vaccinations, and specialized care at affordable rates, complementing the urgent care services we provide.

In emergencies, remember that hospitals in the United States are required by law to provide care regardless of your insurance status or ability to pay. However, emergency room visits can become expensive. If you do require hospital care, ask about financial assistance programs or payment plans offered by the hospital, as many have resources specifically designed for those without insurance.

Another option to consider is negotiating fees or requesting discounts for upfront or cash payments. At Express Health Urgent Care, we are upfront about our fees and offer affordable self-pay rates, making it easier for you to receive care without insurance. Feel free to discuss your financial situation when scheduling your appointment or during your visit, as we are committed to working with you to find solutions.

Additionally, many state and local governments offer specific programs tailored to uninsured individuals. Such programs often provide free or low-cost screenings, preventive care, and prescription assistance. Contacting your local health department or community resources can help you identify programs applicable to your unique healthcare needs.

Prescription assistance programs offered by pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies, and nonprofit organizations can help you obtain medications at discounted rates or even for free. Our providers can discuss generic or lower-cost medication alternatives with you, helping you manage your prescription costs effectively.

Finally, exploring health insurance marketplaces or government-sponsored healthcare programs, such as Medicaid, is beneficial. Depending on your income and family size, you may qualify for subsidized coverage or government-sponsored health insurance programs. Our knowledgeable team can help direct you to resources and community navigators who can assist in exploring these options.

Express Health Urgent Care is here to support you every step of the way. Being uninsured doesn’t have to mean sacrificing quality care or peace of mind.
