Save money and time
When your doctor isn’t available, you don’t have to go far for high-quality and fast service for non-emergencies. You’re covered for several options that are more cost-effective and convenient for non-emergent care, so you can avoid the ER.
Retail clinics
Staffed by certified nurse practitioners, retail clinics provide quick, convenient care for non-serious illnesses like cold and flu symptoms or digestive issues when your doctor isn’t available. CVS MinuteClinic® is one example of a retail clinic.
Urgent care centers
For illnesses or injuries that are not life-threatening but require immediate attention, such as sprains, sinus infections, and small wounds that need stitches, an urgent care center is a faster and more cost-effective option.
Visit ibx.com/findadoctor to find in-network providers near you, including urgent care centers and retail clinics.
