The value proposition behind urgent care centers is that the cost to see a patient and the wait times at the urgent care center vs. the hospital emergency room are lower. However, for conditions that do require extensive diagnostic testing and/or specialized provider knowledge, the general urgent care center can only “triage” the condition and send the patient to a specialist for follow-up.
