Urgent care center claims grew by 70% in the past 5 years

Statistic Info

This is a remarkable statistic and speaks to the continued rise in demand for more affordable and convenient medical care. The growth of urgent care centers reflects the need for healthcare services outside of traditional doctor’s offices or hospitals. Patients can now receive quality medical treatment on a walk-in basis without needing to make an appointment. Urgent care centers have also become increasingly popular as they provide quick, cost-effective access to ailments and injuries that would otherwise require an emergency room visit.
