Premier Urgent Care & Occupational Medicine is a family-owned, private urgent care serving the urgent care and occupational medicine needs of the Tri-Lakes and Colorado Springs area, seven days a week.
According to the Division of Health Care Statistics, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, only 15% of patients seen at hospital emergency rooms are truly emergency cases. This means approximately 85% of patients that go to an ER do not have a true medical emergency.
Emergency Rooms are intended to provide care to people with serious medical issues that need expert, immediate evaluation and treatment -- conditions such as traumatic injuries, heart attacks and strokes.
Premier Urgent Care offers an alternative.
- Provides patients with reduced costs of care
- Decreases the time patients are being treated versus the Emergency Room
- Lower co-payments - As costs are much lower for privately owned urgent cares than ER to insurers, many major insurance companies urgent care co-payments may be substantially lower than co-payments required for a trip to the Emergency Room.
- No Facility Fee - We submit your insurance claim and you receive a single bill. Emergency rooms and hospital owned urgent cares charge you both a facility fee and a fee for the physicians service. So not only are your charges much higher at the ER and hospital based urgent care, but you'll generally receive two bills!
- We're family friendly - we have a special waiting room just for children to help make the wait easier on families. Our small room has books, toys, and a TV to keep your little ones occupied.
- All this with exceptional medical treatment in a warm, welcoming environment
