Please refer to your plan’s website to verify your eligibility and coverage prior to your visit with us. To streamline your registration process, print a copy of your insurance benefits and bring it with you, along with a photo ID and a form of payment to cover your co-payment, when you come to our urgent care center in Tampa, FL. If we do not accept your health insurance plan, we will file a claim on your behalf and you will be reimbursed according to your plan contract.

While South Tampa Immediate Care accepts insurance, we do not require it. We also have a reasonable and transparent rate schedule for our self-paying patients. Our goal is to provide exceptional urgent care at an affordable price.

Convenient and Cost-Effective Nonemergency Urgent Care

Insurance co-payments for urgent care tend to be significantly lower than those required for an emergency room visit. In fact, for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, an ER is a very expensive—in many instances, 10 times higher in cost than an urgent care center—and time-consuming place to receive care. What’s more, recent studies show that treating nonemergency ailments in an ER increases the cost of health care not only for patients but also for the health care system as a whole.

In sum, if you need prompt medical attention for a nonemergency health issue, South Tampa Immediate Care is an excellent option that can save you both money and time.

Coordination of Benefits Information

Insurance carriers are increasingly requiring their insureds to complete a Coordination of Benefits (COB). Basically, COB means your insurance carrier wants to verify if you have health insurance coverage with another plan or plans. Some carriers will mail you paperwork that you must complete, and some require you to call them to discuss your coverage. Even if you don’t have any other health insurance coverage, you may still be required to notify your insurance carrier that you have just one health insurance policy. If you have more than one health insurance policy, you will need to notify your carrier what other coverage you have, as well as provide other information. What you will need to provide will vary by insurance carrier.

When you fail to complete your COB with your carrier, it will refuse to pay claims on your behalf until the issue is resolved. So please be proactive and complete your COB with your carrier as soon as possible.

If you get a notice from our office that your carrier has refused to pay a claim for a COB issue, you will need to contact your insurance carrier by calling the toll free number on the back of your insurance card. Insurance carriers do not allow us to resolve these issues on your behalf. After providing all necessary information to your insurance carrier, ask the representative to reprocess the claim(s) that was denied. Please notify our office after you have had this conversation with your insurance company so that we may follow up on this claim.
