Clinic Frequently Asked Questions

Similar to Urgent Care, ExpressCare treats minor illnesses and injuries, including coughs, colds, strains, sprains, rashes, earaches, urinary tract infections and similar conditions. Providers perform evaluations, offer point-of-care testing, and can order lab work or imaging referrals when medically necessary.

ExpressCare providers offer general medical evaluations and can order lab tests, blood work, or imaging as needed. While X-rays are not available on-site, providers can refer patients to an appropriate imaging facility. If specialty care is needed, we will help connect you with the right specialist.

Our ExpressCare freestanding clinics offer annual flu vaccines; however, travel immunizations are not available. Please note that these services are not provided at ExpressCare Walgreens clinics.

Yes, our freestanding clinics offer tuberculosis (TB) PPD skin tests as a self-pay service. If there are any factors that may prevent you from receiving a PPD test, our providers can evaluate your situation and recommend alternative testing methods or next steps.

We also offer STD testing, which involves an evaluation by a provider to determine the appropriate screenings.

Most lab results are available within 1-3 days. Providers will discuss expected timelines during your visit, and results can typically be viewed in MyChart. A provider will contact you directly if any results require follow-up.

ExpressCare providers may prescribe or refill medications when clinically appropriate following an evaluation. However, we do not refill opioid or benzodiazepine prescriptions. For these medications, please contact your prescribing provider.

If you need a health form completed, bring it with you to your visit. Our provider will evaluate your condition and determine whether the form can be completed, while also helping guide any necessary next steps in your care.

For medication questions, call 888-227-3312 or message your provider through MyChart.

For motor vehicle accidents, our providers can evaluate you and recommend any additional treatment options. For workers compensation (L&I) visits, we can see you for your initial visit to start the claim and then recommend follow-up at your nearest Occupational Health clinic.

ExpressCare accepts many major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, CareOregon, Cigna, Medicare, most Medicare Advantage plans, Moda, Oscar, Providence Health Plans, Tricare, and United Healthcare. (Cigna and United Healthcare are accepted but out of network in Alaska. Medi-Cal is not accepted.)

If you have insurance, your cost will depend on your plan benefits. If you do not have insurance, the standard visit cost is $149. Lab tests and additional treatments are priced separately. Payment is due at the time of service if we are not billing your insurance, and patients are responsible for any balance not covered by insurance.

^{‡ Procedures include ear wax removal, skin tag removal, etc.
** You may receive an additional charge if tests need to be sent out to a lab.}
