The cost of a visit to the emergency room or an urgent care center can vary based on where you are geographically, whether you are in-network or out of network, and which location you visit.
For non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, urgent care centers can typically offer substantial cost savings over a visit to the ER. Some insurance companies have estimated that an in-network urgent care visit can cost up to 80% less than an ER visit.
