About This Procedure:
This service is a hospital emergency room (ER) visit for patients with conditions typically treated in the ER.
This particular service is for the care given by the emergency room doctors and staff. It is the “starting price” for the total ER service as often the care involves other hospital services like specialists, anesthesia, x-rays, and special equipment and services. Though the use of these services during an ER visit varies a lot across patients, the total price for an ER visit commonly is several thousand dollars or more.
The price of care at an urgent care center is much lower – a better value when you need care quickly for problems that are not life-threatening. But, urgent care clinics serve people who have minor health problems that need fast attention—not for people who have life-threatening emergencies.
