MDLIVE provides you with 24/7 access to board-certified doctors for treatment of:

Common medical concerns

URGENT

CARE CENTERS

AVERAGE COST: $ 150

At these walk-in medical clinics, doctors and nurses
provide immediate care for non-life-threatening
illnesses and injuries (sore throat, ear infections, stomach pains, minor cuts, COVID tests, etc.) Urgent care centers often cost much less than going to the ER and may provide much faster care. Many offer evening, weekend, and 24-hour services. Appointments may be needed.

HOSPITAL EMERGENCY
ROOMS

AVERAGE COST: $2,000

Usually located in a hospital, an ER provides
immediate, emergency care for serious and life threatening illnesses and injuries (heart attack, major broken bones, allergic reactions, shortness of breath, etc.)

FREE STANDING EMERGENCY ROOMS

AVERAGE COST:$3,000

Avoid these if possible. These centers fulfill the
same need as a hospital ER, but typically do not
contract, and are not in network. The cost at these
facilities is much higher for both you, and the
medical plan.

These facilities have to use the word “Emergency” when they advertise and need to be equipped like a full-service ER. Don’t confuse this with Urgent Care.

WHEN YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAS A LIFE-THREATENING
MEDICAL PROBLEM, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY.
