FAQs about urgent care, emergency room, and ER fast-track treatment
Is it true that ER waiting times go down yearly and that hospitals are becoming more efficient?
No. According to the CDC, patients spend three hours or more in an emergency room. The waiting time for non-critical visits has skyrocketed by 33%. In NY, a 20% increase in ER visits and the closure or merger of several local hospitals further aggravates the problem.
Would the copay be lesser in an urgent care center than in an emergency room?
At Nao Medical, your co-pay would be less than half of that at any hospital emergency department. Your final cost of care would be a fraction of the bill you would get from an emergency room’s fast-track care, a hospital’s version of urgent care.
What are fast tracks and urgent care inside hospital emergency rooms?
To improve the emergency room experience, many ERs have opened up fast-track systems or urgent care tracks where they quickly triage patients. They may be quicker in triage but they bill the same amount and ER does.
Should a patient seek medical care from an urgent care center or the ER?
When a sudden illness or injury occurs at an inconvenient time, you’ll need excellent medical care—fast. In the case of a life-threatening or critical emergency, call 911.

Having a good grasp of what urgent care can help you with can help you avoid wasting valuable time and money when dealing with emergencies.
