Walk-In Clinics are a more-affordable alternative to emergency care if
the injury or illness is not life-threatening. Generally, the Walk-In
Clinic offers the same basic services as a primary care provider. It is
suitable for sudden health conditions when you can’t wait for an
appointment or when other clinics are closed. We have on-site
laboratory and
X-ray services.
These and other symptoms are evaluated and treated:
Allergic reactions
Cuts, burns, bites
Eye irritation
Infections
Moderate fever
Painful urination
Rashes
Runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough
STDs (Fort Madison location only)
Sprains, strains, broken bones
Vomiting and diarrhea
Patients must be at least 6 months old at West Burlington locations and
at least 3 months old at the Fort Madison location. Women who are pregnant
should seek help from their obstetrician or nurse midwife. Walk-In Clinic
providers don’t prescribe or refill pain medicine or long-term medicine.
A provider at a primary care clinic or an emergency department may need
to see you if you have several or complex health concerns.
Should I Go to a walk-in Clinic or the Emergency Room?
The Walk-In Clinic is not the same as emergency care, because Emergency
Departments handle life- threatening emergencies, but the Walk-In Clinic
does not. However, many patients opt for the Walk-In Clinic as the more
affordable alternative to emergency care if their injury or ailment does
not threaten their life. Generally, the Walk-In Clinic offers the same
basic services as a primary care provider and is suitable for after- hours
care or for sudden health conditions when you can’t wait to book
an appointment.
Payment
Patients must pay their insurance copayment or full payment before meeting
with the health care provider. Coverage for Walk-In Clinic services may
vary by insurance provider. There is an additional fee for tests. We accept
insurance, cash, credit, or debit cards.
