Now that MedExpress Urgent Care clinics are part of the UPMC Health Plan network, your employees won’t have to wait for care if they’re feeling sick and their doctor’s office is closed.  
 
MedExpress Urgent Care is a full-service medical clinic offering professional treatment for injury and illness to all age groups. These clinics provide walk-in services for a defined range of health-related issues, including treatment of minor ailments, health screenings, and some vaccinations. However, MedExpress Urgent Care centers are not designed to replace primary care physicians.
 
By including MedExpress Urgent Care clinics in the network, the Health Plan provides access to medical treatment at hours when a physician is not available. The convenience of these clinics may enable your employees to avoid an emergency room visit and may reduce some of their health care costs.
 
No appointment or referral is needed to visit a MedExpress Urgent Care clinic. Members will be required to pay a copayment at the time of the visit. The amount will be the same as the plan’s copayment for a specialist visit.

Here are a few of the instances in which a MedExpress Urgent Care clinic can help:
