A visit to the emergency department for a non-emergent service will often cost 3-4 times more than a visit to an urgent care center. Overuse of the emergency room is one of the top drivers to higher cost and rate increases for insurance today. But the cost is not only a financial one, keeping the physician from seeing more emergent cases means time delays for everyone.
