Frequently Asked Questions
Are you open on holidays?
Our Urgent Care Centers are open Monday-Friday from 9am to 7pm and Saturday-Sunday from 9am to 5pm. We are closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Hours are subject to change.
How do I know if I need Urgent Care or the ER?
If you feel that your condition is life-threatening you need to be seen in a hospital Emergency Room and should call 911. The ER treats life threatening medical conditions, such as chest pains, severe wounds or amputations. Urgent Care Centers treat conditions that need immediate attention but are not life or limb threatening.
Do I need an appointment for the Urgent Care Center?
No. You never need an appointment to be seen at our Urgent Care Centers. Patients are seen on a walk-in basis. However, we do offer online check-in so that you can reserve your place in line and wait from home or curbside check-in to wait from the convenience of your car.
Who will be treating me in the Urgent Care Center?
Our staff includes licensed physicians as well as nurse practitioners, medical assistants and x-ray technologists who have experience and training in emergency medicine, primary care, pediatrics, internal medicine and sports medicine.
What types of services does Cullman Regional Urgent Care Center provide?
The teams at our Urgent Care Centers specialize in the treatment of acute urgent medical conditions. Our providers treat many types of medical conditions, but typical types of concerns include: coughs, colds, sinus infections, headaches, broken bones, sprained joints, rashes, back pain, ear infections, abdominal pain, and treatment of lacerations.
Will you refill my medications?
Medication refills are NOT routinely given; however, a provider may refill medications until a patient can be seen by their primary care provider under certain circumstances as deemed necessary, on a case by case basis.
What about conditions requiring on-going care and monitoring?
Our Urgent Care Centers are not meant to take the place of a patient’s primary care physician. Patients will be referred back to their primary care provider for ongoing care. For patients who do not have a primary care provider, the teams at our Urgent Care Centers are happy to refer them to a primary care provider currently accepting new patients.
Can I use the Urgent Care Center as my family doctor if I don’t have one?
No, our Urgent Care Centers are NOT a substitute for a family doctor. Although we are glad to see patients anytime, we want to stress the importance of having a family doctor, serving as the “manager” of your healthcare. Urgent care provides medical treatment for your unexpected illnesses or injuries, and serves as a resource for after hours care, on weekends and holidays, or when you are unable to get an appointment with your doctor. For patients who do not have a primary care provider, the teams at our Urgent Care Centers are happy to refer them to a primary care provider currently accepting new patients.
What type of insurance does the Urgent Care Center accept?
We accept most insurance providers. We accept Alabama Medicaid with a referral, however, we do not accept out-of-state Medicaid. Self-pay pricing is also available.
Do I need my Insurance ID card to be seen in the Urgent Care Center?
In order for us to be able to verify your insurance coverage, we will need to see and copy your insurance card. If you are unable to bring your card, we will do our best to verify your benefits with your carrier when you arrive. For those without insurance, or who have high deductibles, we also offer discounted cash pay prices at the time of service.
