Walk-In Clinic Q&A

What is a walk-in clinic?

A walk-in clinic is a health care facility where you can seek medical attention without an appointment. Walk-in clinics offer convenient, affordable access to care. With conventional and alternative payment options, Clinica Medica Hispana is a walk-in clinic that serves a diverse patient population.

 

All providers and staff at the clinic are bilingual and speak fluent English and Spanish, meaning anyone who is part of the Hispanic community can walk in at any time and receive the comprehensive care they need without language barriers.

Is a walk-in clinic the same as urgent care?

A walk-in clinic is similar to urgent care, but they aren’t the same. Urgent care centers address pressing but non-life-threatening health concerns that demand immediate attention. These clinics have a wide range of medical professionals that can provide imaging, minor surgical procedures, and other specialized services.

 

Walk-in clinics can also deliver prompt care, and they provide preventive services and welcome routine visits. Unlike some walk-in centers, Clinica Medica Hispana has in-house lab testing, ultrasounds, and personal injury treatments (cupping, trigger point injections, etc.) to ensure each patient receives thorough care.  

When should I go to a walk-in clinic?

Clinica Medica Hispana encourages you to visit the clinic for many of your health care needs, including:

 

  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Diabetes
  • Minor injuries
  • Fever
  • Allergies
  • Acute illnesses (flu, strep throat, etc.)
  • Immunizations
  • Urinary tract infection (UTI)
  • Annual wellness exams
  • Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals
  • Mental health care
  • Men’s and women’s health care

 

Clinica Medica Hispana has a range of testing services and an onsite pharmacy, so you can get the care you need under one roof. If necessary, the team can issue a specialist referral for services they don’t provide in-house.

Do I need insurance to visit a walk-in clinic?

No, you don’t need insurance to visit Clinica Medica Hispana. While the clinic does accept insurance from over 30 popular carriers, including Medicare and Medicaid, patients can also pay in cash. That means that even if you don't have insurance or your insurance doesn't cover certain services, you can still receive the care you need at an affordable price. 

 

Clinica Medica Hispana is committed to providing accessible and high-quality care to all patients, regardless of their insurance status. Call the clinic, book an appointment online, or walk in to learn more.
