Urgent Care Centers

Urgent care centers (UCC) can save your employees and you time and money.

Blue Shield contracted UCCs are a good solution for non-emergency care without the high expenses of emergency room services. In addition to the quality of care, UCCs offer much shorter wait times. While the average wait time at a California ER is 4 hours and 34 minutes, wait times at a UCC are usually less than an hour.
