1 For a simple visit to the urgent care without any sort of vaccination, procedure, or medication, the costs for a single urgent care visit can hover around the $75 to $160 range without health insurance. The site quotes a study by the Annals of Internal Medicine stating that the average cost of an urgent care visit for three common ailments was $155, while other estimates place an average visit in the range of $71 to $125.
Fact: This is a classic example of consumers being shielded from the true cost of health care. While itâs true that out-of-pocket costs can be as low as zero for the uninsured or just a small co-pay for insured patients, we know that most emergency room visits really costs an average of $1,233. Meanwhile, more affordable urgent care options cost an average of $60 for BCBSNC customers. Those ER costs pile up and are part of the reason that health care costs have been rising so much faster than inflation and salaries for the past decade.
