Urgency Care

Mankato Clinic Urgency Care offers medical care for the majority of illnesses, injuries and conditions 7 days a week with evening and weekend hours. A highly trained team of physicians, practitioners and nurses are here to care for you. Urgency Care has walkin care and appointments with shorter wait times and costs less than hospital emergency rooms. Patients may also stay in their vehicle and we will call or text when an exam room is ready.

We have access to full lab and diagnostic imaging services to include x-rays, CT scans, MRI imaging and ultrasounds.

If this is a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go directly to the nearest Emergency Room.

Cost of Urgency Care Visits

On average, the cost of an urgency care visit is lower than an emergency room visit.  Emergency rooms, which are part of a hospital and open 24/7, have higher maintenance and operating costs than urgent care centers. That’s why the bill for an ER visit typically includes a facility charge. At Mankato Clinic, the cost of an urgency care visit is similar to the cost of an office visit. If the visit includes lab work or diagnostic imaging such as an x-ray or CT scan, additional fees will be charged for these services. We recommend calling the number on the back or your insurance card to learn what your health plan covers including co-pays and out-of-pocket costs and deductibles. It’s best to understand your coverage before you need it.
