At Premier ER + Urgent Care, approximately 70% of patients are treated and billed at urgent care-level rates. The 30% of patients who need ER-level services can expect emergency room visit costs at or below all major hospital-based emergency rooms.
Your insurance company negotiates rates with Premier. Based on the plan, your out-of-pocket expenses may vary greatly.
Each patient will have a deposit that will go towards, copay, co-insurance and/or deductible and is collected at the time of service.
Unfortunately, federal regulations and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services do not allow us to participate with or accept Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare in our ER.

Frequently asked questions
What is an emergency room vs. an urgent care?
An emergency room treats illnesses and injuries in need of immediate attention, some of which include chest pain, abdominal pain, dehydration, complex fractures and much more.
An urgent care typically treats acute and chronic illnesses and injuries that are non-life-threatening; some of which include common colds, flu, strep throat, lacerations and more.
What is in-network vs. out-of-network?
For urgent care services at Premier ER & Urgent Care, in-network means we have a contract with your insurance company and have agreed on what the cost is for any service provided to you. Out-of-network means we do not have a contract with your insurance company in setting the rates. As a result, you may be billed a different rate as determined by your insurance company and benefit plan.
For emergency care at Premier ER & Urgent Care, state law says (states or requires) that all patients have to be treated regardless of their insurance plan or ability to pay. This means your insurance company should consider you in-network. We will bill you the amount defined by your insurance plan.
How does Premier ER & Urgent Care determine what to charge patients?
