Information on Charges and Insurance
The UHS Urgent Care Clinic is for students with medical conditions that require prompt evaluation or who need to be seen before the next available appointment. To be seen in the timeliest manner and ensure that you are getting the most appropriate care for your condition, it's best to call one of our nurses on the Nurse Advice Line at (512) 475-6877 (NURS) before coming in.
When UHS experiences a higher than normal demand for care and our provider schedules are filled to capacity, nursing staff may determine based on your symptoms that it is in your best interest to go to an off campus healthcare provider in order to receive same-day medical care. We do this because we prioritize your health and safety and want to minimize the time you will wait to see a provider and ensure that you receive care promptly.
A nurse will ask about your health history and symptoms and work with you to decide whether you should go to the UHS Urgent Care Clinic, schedule an appointment at UHS, care for yourself at home, or go to an emergency room.
For severe or potentially life-threatening conditions, call 911 or go to a local emergency room. For more information, click Medical Emergencies at the top of the page.
If your medical condition does not respond to treatment or is beyond our scope of care, the physician will refer you to another appropriate healthcare facility such as an emergency room.
Typical conditions treated in the Urgent Care Clinic:
When you visit the Urgent Care Clinic
Patients are usually seen in the order of their arrival. However, sometimes patients must be prioritized based on the severity of their symptoms. Therefore, someone who arrives later may be seen sooner because of the urgency of their condition.
Charges
In addition to the nominal office visit charge for all UHS appointments, there is an additional $18 charge for visits to the Urgent Care Clinic on weekends and holidays.
