Urgent Care offers lab tests which can be performed during the exam such as urine dipsticks, hemoccult, rapid strep, pregnancy, flu A&B, and fingerstick hemoglobin and glucose. 

Other lab work requires a physician’s order and can be drawn during regular SGMC Outpatient Plaza walk-in lab hours. The lab in the SGMC Outpatient Plaza will be open for outpatient business Monday through Friday from 5:30am to 7:30pm. The Outpatient Plaza lab is closed on weekends.

Routine X-Rays are available at Urgent Care. CT, MRI, and any other diagnostic imaging will not be done in Urgent Care. Any patient who needs such testing will need to have orders given from Urgent Care physician and an appointment scheduled.

SGMC Urgent Care will not treat serious conditions including trauma, chest pain, strokes, heart attacks, severe abdominal pain, shortness of breath, and other emergent health conditions. If you think you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911. If a person with a serious medical problem presents at SGMC Urgent Care by mistake, he or she will be transported by EMS to SGMC’s Main Emergency Department.

This payment is just a co-pay and will not cover any radiology or complex lab charges outside of UC. Those will be billed separately if performed. Insurance plan details will vary depending on the particular policies. Each visit to the office is billed to your insurance company by our billing office.
