Billing and payment options
Call CareNow Monday-Friday for questions about your urgent care bill and payment options.
How to pay for your urgent care visit
CareNow Urgent Care wants to make the billing process as easy as possible for our patients. As a patient, you have the right to review your bill regardless of your ability to pay it. We can provide information to you about any available financial resources. If you do not have health insurance, CareNow Urgent Care clinics offer self-pay rates for treatment.
Making it easy to pay your bill
At the time of your visit, we require all patients to pay their applicable patient responsibility (copay, deductible and/or coinsurance). With limited exceptions, we request that patients either provide a payment card on file or make a $100 minimum deposit to ensure smooth transactions and efficient billing practices. This card will only be used if there is additional payment owed after we have billed your insurance.
Pricing transparency
When you register, we will provide a payment notification with our best estimate of your total cost of services to provide transparency to our patients.
How our billing process works with insurance:
- The payment card on file will only be charged if there is an additional payment owed beyond the balance collected at the time of service and after insurance has been billed.
- In no event will the card be charged more than $180 per visit. Any additional patient responsibility above $180 per visit will be billed separately.
- We send a notification via email 10 days prior to submitting any additional charges to the payment card on file. It is very important to provide a valid email address at registration to receive these email notifications. After we send the notification email about submitting any additional charges to your payment card on file, patients may contact us if they choose to submit payment in a different form. Patients can call our billing department at (844) 422-3627 from 7:30 am to 6 pm CST with any questions.
- If insurance pays the claim in full, the payment card on file will not be charged, and no billing statements will be sent.
- A self-pay patient is still required to pay the minimum tiered pricing prior to services being provided. View additional details on self-pay pricing.

Billing insurance providers
CareNow Urgent Care accepts most major health insurance plans, and will directly bill your insurance provider for services provided at our clinics by our healthcare professionals. Our clinic staff will verify your health insurance coverage before or during your visit. Most health insurance plans require a co-payment at the time of service.
After making contact with your insurance company, we will send you a bill with the remaining balance. If you have questions about your insurance plan, please contact your insurance provider.
Uninsured payment options
If you do not have health insurance, CareNow Urgent Care will provide a reasonable estimate of your healthcare charges before treatment as well as self-pay pricing. We can also provide uninsured patients with information regarding any discount or charity policies that may be available.
