Website Financial Policy  

Thank you for choosing Swift Health Urgent Care Centers for your medical needs.

We understand how complicated insurance plans can be and will do our best to assist in you in understanding your urgent care benefits and financial responsibility. Our team strives to ensure you understand your treatment and applicable charges.

We value you as a patient and recognize that you need clear, concise answers when it comes to your financial responsibility. Our financial policy is simple and easy to understand.

Swift Health Urgent Care will file the claim on your behalf with the appropriate insurance carrier.

As the patient, you are responsible for providing our team with an up-to-date insurance card and government issued photo identification card. A photo identification card must be presented on the date of service or a valid photo identification card must be present on the patient’s file.

If you are unable to provide our team with an insurance card, you will be required to pay for your visit at the time of service per the terms of our self-pay rate. If we are unable to validate and verify your insurance on the date of service, you may be required to pay for your visit at the time of service per the terms of our self-pay rate, and/or a Deductible Deposit until that claim has been paid by the insurance carrier.

If you have a new insurance carrier and have not received your insurance card, our team may be able to verify your eligibility and benefits online. If you can provide your insurance identification number, group number, and claims address, we may be able to verify your benefits and determine your financial responsibility.

Swift Health Urgent accepts assignment of insurance benefits, which means your insurance carrier will pay us directly based upon your benefit coverage. By signing the Registration Form, you authorize the assignment of your benefits to Swift Health Urgent Care for treatment and related services and acknowledge the receipt of this Financial Policy.

Our team collects a patient’s financial responsibility at the time of their visit, including copayments, coinsurance percentage deposits, and deductible deposits. Our team will determine your financial responsibility based on your insurance card and benefits profile from your insurance carrier.

Due to the nature of urgent care, copayments will be collected for every visit.

Patients with deductibles, coinsurances, and/or unable to verify insurance on date of service, will be subject to a $95 deposit. This does NOT mean that the deposit will cover the cost of the whole visit. Once we receive an Explanation of Benefits from your insurance company, and received payment for your visit, we will either reimburse or bill you the difference. All reimbursement checks are only valid for 120 days from the issue date. All reimbursement checks over 120 days which were not deposited will not be honored and considered null and void.

Personal Checks, Traveler’s checks, and Care Credit are NOT accepted.

Swift Health Urgent Care is contracted with various government and commercial insurance carriers. If Swift Health Urgent Care is not contracted with your insurance company or you have an out-of-state plan, our team is still happy to serve you, but will require payment in full at the time of service. Referrals and authorizations are patient responsibility. Please call your insurance carrier to verify if you need a referral and/or authorization for an urgent care visit.

Attention TRICARE  VA Beneficiaries:

TRICARE PRIME requires an authorization be obtained for urgent care services. This authorization can be done after the time of service if your visit occurs during evening hours, on a weekend, and/or a holiday. Without an authorization, TRICARE will process the claim to your POS Deductible and you will be financially responsible for the contracted amount. Should this occur, payment is expected within 30 days.
