If you’re experiencing a serious or life-threatening illness or injury, visit the closest emergency department or call 911.

Ohio State Advanced Urgent Care provides walk-in care for urgent, non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries seven days a week. In addition, we can also treat less urgent conditions. Our advanced level of care and diagnostics, supervised by emergency medicine physicians, gives you the expertise of a hospital emergency department but with shorter wait times and at a lower cost than visiting the emergency department.

Visits are billed at a specialist rate, which is higher than an urgent care rate. A traditional urgent care copay does not apply to this advanced level of urgent care.

Cost and Insurance

Advanced Urgent Care visits are billed at a specialist rate, which is higher than an urgent care rate, but less than an emergency department visit. A traditional urgent care copay does not apply to this advanced level of urgent care.

Most insurances accepted. At the time of your visit, a specialist copay will be collected, and a deductible and coinsurance may be applicable if testing is required.
