Urgent Care
When you need to be seen quickly for a non-emergent illness or injury, Cape Cod Healthcare’s Urgent Care centers offer you a high-quality, efficient and cost-effective option for your treatment.
Our six Urgent Care centers are located across Cape Cod and in Plymouth and open daily as follows:
- Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.
- Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Please note: Our seasonal Osterville urgent care location has permanently closed.
Find Care Now - offering even greater access and convenience
Accessing urgent care when you need it is even easier with Find Care Now – available online or via your MyChart account. This new feature allows you to view directions, check walk-in wait times or schedule an appointment at any of our six convenient locations. Once an appointment time is selected, you will enter some brief information about your reason for visiting to help the urgent care team prepare for arrival.
Please Note – an existing MyChart account is not needed to utilize the Find Care Now feature.
Wait times and scheduled spots are estimated, as patients are seen in order of severity. Due to the nature of the care provided in Urgent Care, sometimes someone comes in with a very serious situation and may need to be seen ahead of you. Rest assured; we will work to see you as quickly as possible. Walk-in care is always available at all locations until close. If this is a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
ER expertise meets urgent care convenience
Our Urgent Care centers are staffed by board-certified, emergency room providers from Cape Cod Hospital and Falmouth Hospital, offering high-quality, full-service, walk-in care. Because of their expertise and efficiency in triaging and treating a wide range of minor conditions and injuries, 95% of patients head home in under an hour.
Cape Cod Healthcare Urgent Care services are available to all patients, even if your primary care provider (PCP) and other specialists are affiliated with another healthcare system.
Additional advantages of seeking treatment at Cape Cod Healthcare Urgent Care:
- Convenient access, with locations in Hyannis, Falmouth, Harwich, Orleans, Plymouth and Sandwich.
- Urgent care offers a cost-saving care option compared to an ER visit
- Most health insurances are accepted.
- For your convenience, X-ray is available on-site for imaging ordered by an Urgent Care provider and we can administer IV medications and fluids. Please note: outside orders for X-ray services can only be accommodated at Cape Cod Healthcare Imaging and Radiology locations.
Like many other healthcare systems, Cape Cod Healthcare uses the Epic electronic medical record (EMR) which ensures your medical records can be shared between your PCP and our urgent care team for seamless continuity of your care. If you need to be seen by a specialist as a follow up after an urgent care visit, our team will ensure you receive a referral to the provider of your choice, regardless of affiliation with the Cape Cod Healthcare network.
Knowing where to go for medical attention ensures that you receive the most appropriate and timely care. Whether you arrive at one of our Urgent Care centers or our hospital Emergency Centers, you will be treated by our board-certified, ER-trained providers.
Additional Services Offered
As part of our urgent care services, we offer flu shots on a walk-in basis, as well as COVID-19 and flu testing for those experiencing symptoms. Asymptomatic testing for flu and COVID-19 is also available at a flat fee rate of $50.
We also offer sports physical or pre-participating physical examinations at all urgent care locations. Sports physicals are available by appointment or via walk-in and require a $75 payment at the time of service.
Communication with your primary care physician
For the continuity of your care, it’s important that your primary care physician (PCP) is kept in the loop if you do need to seek urgent care. A visit to our Urgent Care is promptly communicated if your PCP is with Cape Cod Healthcare, for additional follow up that may be needed. Your urgent care visit summary and more are also available to you through MyChart, Cape Cod Healthcare’s patient portal. Sign up for MyChart today.
