Upfront Urgent Care and Occupational Medicine

Not cost rated, and here is why. Surgery centres, imaging centres and urgent care clinics do not file Medicare cost reports, so no audited cost-to-charge figure exists for them and we will not invent one. They are listed here because they are usually the lower-cost setting for the same procedure: Medicare itself pays a surgery centre materially less than a hospital outpatient department for identical outpatient work. That is a reason to ask them for a price, not a guarantee they are cheaper for you. See the setting comparison.
