When a medical issue or emergency strikes, you want the best care you can get. That’s why there’s BetterMed.

Here you’ll find a better alternative to other “doc-in-a-box” facilities around town. Every provider at BetterMed is well-trained in urgent care medicine and has extensive experience in emergency care. Plus, our patients are in and out in 45 minutes on average.

BetterMed Urgent Care:

• Accepts most insurance plans
• Offers co-pays that are typically lower than ER visits
• Uses the latest medical technology
• Convenient lab and X-ray services on site
• Lets you register online before your visit
• Streamlines hospital admission if you need to be treated further
• Keeps your doctor in the loop with complete follow-up reports

BetterMed is considered an Urgent Care, which is an office-based practice.

We do not bill a facility fee as a hospital or free-standing Emergency Department does. However, we do bill for diagnostic and therapy services. If you went to visit your primary care physician, your copay covers specifically the visit with your PCP. However, if your PCP orders an X-ray during your visit, the outpatient imaging facility where you have the X-ray will charge you for the X-ray plus the radiologist’s interpretation of the X-ray. At our facility, if you have an X-ray taken, you will be charged for the X-ray, similar to the outpatient imaging facility, but you will not be charged for the physician’s interpretation of the X-ray. This is the same for the other diagnostic and therapeutic services that are performed at BetterMed. If you are seen in the ER, you are charged for the X-ray being taken by the hospital staff, the interpretation of the X-ray by the radiologist and the emergency physician PLUS another facility fee by the hospital for the visit. At BetterMed, we do not charge a facility fee. You are being charged only for one provider visit plus any diagnostic or therapeutic services. Please contact us if you have any further questions.
