You shouldn’t have to spend hours sitting in a lobby to get a vaccination, undergo a routine physical, or set a fractured bone.

5 Big Advantages of Urgent Care ![sign-on-building-for-urgent-care]()
If you think you might have a broken bone or developed a nasty case of COVID, getting effective medical care isn’t a choice—it’s a matter of practical necessity, with even minor delays. These and other medical issues have the potential to keep you away from work, out of school, or otherwise unable to meet the needs of everyday life.
However, getting high-quality care at a Boise-area hospital, especially in certain situations, comes at the cost of unreasonable wait times, paycheck-killing co-pays, and financially devastating deductibles.
You don’t have to choose between your well-being and your wallet. Core Medicine of Idaho’s Caldwell urgent care clinic gives you easy access to numerous advantages and services.
1. Top-Level Care at Affordable Prices
A trip to the emergency room is expensive—with insurance, or without. And, in many cases, the amount of money you think you’ll pay at the ER isn’t what you actually end up paying. Even if you have a reasonable co-pay, emergency rooms often operate in accordance with strict protocols, which may require that you receive treatments or screenings that have less to do with medical necessity than “protecting the hospital from malpractice claims.”
By contrast, urgent care clinics have more transparent fee structures: what you see on your policy is what you pay. If you need an X-ray or tests that aren’t covered by your policy, we’ll tell you upfront or break down your bill so that you can understand what you’re paying for.
2. Quick Check-in and Fast Turn-Around Times
Emergency rooms in Caldwell and Meridian receive patients from across the Boise metro, which means they’re often busy both day and night. If you have an injury that’s anything less than life-threatening, your case probably won’t take priority—even if it entails waiting in the lobby with a nasty burn, contagious illness, or broken wrist.
On the other hand, Core Medicine of Idaho in Caldwell is a brand-new facility that strives for thorough yet fast patient care, prioritizing effective service from day one. We rarely have wait times—and when we do, they’re typically measured in minutes rather than hours.
3. Convenient On-Site Facilities—All in an Easily-Accessible Location
We don’t want our patients to go off-site for care that doesn’t require a referral, which is why our urgent care clinic hosts an in-house laboratory, pharmacy, and radiology center.
4. Compassionate Providers for Acute Injuries and Long-Term Care
Our staff has decades of experience treating patients in various settings, from inpatient clinics and big-city emergency rooms to small-town urgent care. We can typically:
- Assess acute injuries and illnesses.
- Provide comfort, support, and cutting-edge care.
- Offer fast and affordable treatment that accounts for your injuries, your next-day needs, and the expectations of your school or employer.
The professionals at Core Medicine of Idaho also offer family practice solutions, which means we can help you track and improve your health over longer periods of time.
5. Keeping the Burden Off Boise’s Big Hospitals
Your visit to our medical office isn’t just a great way to support an independent urgent care clinic—it’s an opportunity to help protect your community by relieving pressure on our region’s already-overburdened emergency rooms. While designed to treat life-threatening conditions, these facilities are often overwhelmed by complaints better suited for a smaller care center.
