I walked into Coxsackie EmUrgent Care in horrible pain from a very bad UTI. I had been in pain for days trying to wait until I received my SS check to make the copay my insurance charges but had started showing blood in my urine and the pain had become intense. Glenmont EmUrgent Care had refused to see me because I didn't have my copay. Coxsackie took care of me and I am now on medication. I will return this morning to pay my copay from last night. I want to thank them as the pain had become unbearable.
