- California Department of Managed Health Care: The California Department of Managed Health Care states that health plans must cover urgent care when you travel outside your plans service area. If you are within your health plans service area, you can go to an urgent care center, retail clinic, or use telehealth for a condition that needs to be treated right away but is not life-threatening.
- MinuteClinic: MinuteClinic accepts most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid.
Its important to note that urgent care is not the same as emergency care. Urgent care centers are for illnesses and injuries that are not life-threatening, yet still require treatment. If you have a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the emergency room.
