If you’ve been in urgent care in Northridge, you likely know that the hospital experience can be excruciating. From being stuck in a waiting room for hours on end, to finally being able to leave and be free of pain and discomfort, the experience can be one of the most stressful things you can endure.
Not only is urgent care in Northridge, it’s in the worst part of the city, so everyone is trying to squeeze in as much as they can to get there as quickly and as often as they can. Our team has been there a few times and every single visit can be quite distressing.
In the beginning of our recent trip, when we were first supposed to get to the urgent care, we were told that the nurse would not be able to see us until we got up to the emergency room. This meant that we had to wait an hour and a half in the waiting room, just for the duration of our one appointment.
That’s not entirely true. If you are in the ER with chest pains or any other serious symptoms, the doctor will be able to see you within a certain amount of time. If you are really sick, however, it is recommended that you wait for an appointment to see the doctor.
If you’ve been diagnosed with a serious condition (like cancer), you should probably get to see your doctor in person. If you are a high-risk person (for example, someone with a preexisting condition, or someone who has a family history of heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure), you may also need to see your doctor in person to get a prescription filled.
We are not talking about a serious ailment. We are talking about those things you see on the tube, on the news, or on the internet. These conditions are serious and can kill you very quickly.
A large number of people who have these conditions don’t have insurance, and when they do they need to have their prescriptions filled in person. If you don’t have insurance, you will not be able to see a doctor. Instead, you can go to urgent care, a hospital with a physician on staff who will help you get your prescription filled and/or treated for your condition.
When you go to urgent care northridge, you can get your medicine filled for $5 and you will not be charged any co-pays or deductibles. If you have insurance, you will be charged $10 for your prescriptions. This is a very good deal (better than the cost of the insurance) but you should make sure to check with your insurance company before you go.
With the recent recession, more and more people are opting for urgent care because of the convenient location, and it’s a good thing. They have a doctor on staff, a nurse on staff, and a receptionist who can help you with anything.
While it is great that you can go to a doctor on your way into the hospital, especially if you have insurance, there are several things you will want to know before you go. First, the cost of the visit will go up. In the above example, the visit is $30, plus a co-pay of $2. If you also have insurance, you can get your co-pays waived completely.
