Pediatric Urgent Care Services
In addition to caring for adults, Urgent Care provides care for children 18 and under. Pediatric patients will be assessed in Urgent Care, R1.060. If Urgent Care services are appropriate, the child and parent will be taken by a staff member to either the Pediatric Direct Care Clinic or the Pediatric Emergency unit on Red 1 for treatment without an appointment. If Urgent Care services are provided in either of these two locations, treatment will be billed as an Urgent Care visit.
If the child has a fever or other indication that a higher level of care is needed, the child will be transitioned after the initial Urgent Care assessment to the Pediatric Emergency unit as an Emergency Department patient. Emergency Department co-pays will apply, depending on your insurance coverage.
