An urgent care typically treats non-life threatening conditions such as common colds, flu symptoms, strep throat, lacerations and much more.
An emergency room treats conditions in need of more immediate attention, including chest pain, abdominal pain, dehydration, fractures, and more.
Finding the right level of care for your condition can make a big difference in the outcome of your visit. Receiving care in an emergency room for a non-emergency condition might lead to you paying for a higher level of care than is needed. Visiting an urgent care for an emergency might make your condition worse or take longer to receive care, if you are directed or transferred to a facility that can better handle your needs.
