Urgent Care in West Virginia

While West Virginia is rich in forests, mountains, and natural beauty, it remains one of the nation's poorest states. Worse yet, many of the states leading industries contribute to health problems among its residents, as does a lack of money.

West Virginia is home to a number of universities with excellent medical programs, such as West Virginia University, Marshall, and the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine. The state also boasts a number of health systems, including WV United, Davis, Valley Health Systems, and Southern West Virginia, among others.

West Virginia is the fourth most obese state in America, so residents suffer from problems such as heart disease, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. The coal mining industry leads to its fair share of health problems as well. Respiratory diseases, black lung, emphysema, and various forms of cancer are sadly common among both coal miners and those who live near the mines and processing plants. Even the gorgeous landscape plays a part. There are hunting accidents, tick bites, and issues with mosquitoes.

Many hamlets in towns in West Virginia don't have access to hospitals. Those who do may not have the money to afford a visit to the ER. These people rely on the state's two dozen urgent care facilities. They know they can get prompt, professional treatment they can afford without having to travel for miles.

Even people who live near hospitals can't always afford it. The state's walk-in clinics help handle the overflow. They work with people who don't have the funds for expensive tests or medicines, and they're generally available at any time of day.

Urgent Care FAQs

  • How much will an urgent care visit in West Virginia cost?

    The price charged at an urgent care, whether in West Virginia or elsewhere, will be based on the location, and there are no actual standard costs between the clinics. Assuming you are paying with cash, you might come across an urgent clinic that charges you $50 while another situated some mile away charges you $100 for the same services. The standard cost in urgent care where insurance cover is not involved ranges from $100 to $125. This price is generally the standard price of a visit before extra services. There are a couple of additional care services that could make your appointment to an urgent care costly including x-rays and lab tests, medications and injections (such as immunization), casting broken bones, as well as stitches and splints. If you have a viable insurance plan in place, the standard pay will be between $20 – 50 depending on your insurance coverage and whether you are in contact with the provider.

  • Are West Virginia urgent care centers open after hours?

    Most primary care doctor offices are open during routine work hours, Monday thru Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Conversely, most of the urgent care centers in West Virginia are available after hours, on weekends, and many holidays. Typical urgent care hours are 8:00 am to 8:00 pm daily, although location-specific hours may vary.

  • Do urgent care centers in West Virginia take appointments?

    Historically, urgent care centers were strictly an on-demand, walk-in healthcare service mode. More recently, as consumer behaviors and expectations have evolved, many urgent care clinics have begun offering book ahead visits, allowing consumers to select a same-day or next-day time that works best for their schedule. Use Solv to find a West Virginia urgent care center that offers advanced bookings (or appointments) and book online.

  • What is the best urgent care center in West Virginia?

    While it would be easy to provide a list of urgent care centers in and around West Virginia, 'best' is a challenging term to qualify. For some consumers, that could mean the closest location whereas other people may prioritize patient reviews, service costs, availability, or whether or not the provider accepts their insurance. With the list of locations above, use the filters provided to narrow the results to find the best urgent care for your needs.

  • What is Urgent Care?

    Urgent care is available to assist patients that are looking for immediate, convenient medical care. In that manner, they are similar to an emergency room. The difference, however, is that ERs are meant to treat major, life-threatening injuries and illnesses while urgent care centers manage life’s minor bruises and bumps. In simple terms, an urgent care is seen as a walk-in health center that focuses in offering non-emergent health care conditions, including the treatment of the typical illnesses and injuries such as fractures and sprains, cuts and burns, scrapes, stings and bites, flu and cold symptoms, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, and much more. Most urgent care facilities offer both diagnostic and preventive care such as well visits, immunizations, STD testing and annual physicals. For regular visits and check-ups on these clinics, you should expect to pay between $20 and $100. The good thing is that most urgent care clinics will accept major PPOs and insurance cover, Medicare, as well as self-pay in the form of credit cards or cash. Urgent care clinics are located in most parts of the country in various regions to offset emergency room visits and provide a gap in healthcare services. They take patients during all hours of operations, which offer a significant convenience to most people who have and continue to undergo the need for sudden and immediate medical attention.
