How Much Does Urgent Care Cost Without Insurance in Denver?

If you don't have insurance, the first question about urgent care is usually the price, and it can be hard to get a straight answer before the bill arrives. Ours are posted up front. Here's what a visit costs at AfterOurs without insurance, what changes the price, and what to do if you do have coverage.

The short answer

Self-pay in-clinic visits at AfterOurs are $175, $250 or $330, and never more than $330, however complex the visit turns out to be. A telehealth video visit is $75 self-pay.

The three self-pay visit tiers

Your tier is set by the care you actually receive, not by the appointment type you pick when you book.

• $175, standard visit: a sick or minor-injury visit, such as a sore throat, cough, ear pain, a UTI or a rash.
• $250, visit with one moderate service: for example a rapid flu test, an X-ray, an EKG or a breathing treatment.
• $330, a procedure or two moderate services: for example stitches, draining an abscess, or two X-rays. This is the most a self-pay in-clinic visit costs.

If you're unsure what your visit will involve, ask the front desk before treatment. They'll tell you which tier applies.

Flat-fee physicals, tests and shots

Some services have their own flat self-pay price, the same whether you walk in or book online:

• Sports or school physical (kids): $40
• Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) driver physical: $50
• Urine drug screen: $50
• Merchant guard physical: $65
• Basic adult physical (no labs): $75
• Tdap vaccine: $100
• TB skin test: $35
• Stitch or staple removal: $50 if they were placed somewhere else, free if we placed them

Telehealth: $75 self-pay

A telehealth video visit with an AfterOurs clinician is $75 self-pay, available 8 AM to 11 PM daily. Video works well for many common problems. If the clinician needs to examine you in person or run a test, they'll tell you, and you can come into a clinic.

Paying over time

If paying the whole visit at once is hard, there's an optional two-payment arrangement: $120 at the time of service, with the rest due within 30 days on a credit card kept on file. It carries a $15 program fee, so it costs a little more than paying in full. Ask your clinic about it before treatment.

If you do have insurance

We contract with all major commercial and government plans, including Colorado Medicaid and Medicare. We can't guarantee that a particular commercial plan has us in network, because carriers sometimes build narrow networks without telling providers. Your cost depends on your copay, deductible and coinsurance, so check your benefits with your insurer.

If your plan turns out to be out of network, or it denies the visit, we drop you to the self-pay rates above. You won't be billed like a stranger.

Urgent care or the ER?

For problems that aren't emergencies, urgent care usually costs far less than an emergency room. Many urgent cares close in the early evening, which is when people end up in the ER for things a clinic could have handled. Ours stay open until 11 PM every day. More on the difference: the cost of urgent care vs. the emergency room.

Call 911 or go to the ER if you have: chest pain or pressure; trouble breathing; signs of a stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech); heavy bleeding that won't stop; a serious head injury or loss of consciousness; a severe allergic reaction with swelling of the face or throat; or sudden, severe pain. Cost should never be the reason to wait in an emergency.
