What is urgent care?
Urgent care clinics are like walk-in clinics, but with more services. They can treat more serious (but non-life-threatening) injuries and illnesses, often with shorter wait times than the emergency room. Most urgent care clinics accept insurance and are open every day—early morning through early evening. No appointment needed.
For life-threatening emergencies, dial 911 or go to your local emergency department.

Understanding your urgent care plus bill
You will receive a bill from MaineHealth for the care you received at MaineHealth Urgent Care Plus. We encourage you to talk with your insurance carrier directly to review your health coverage and benefits. MaineHealth Urgent Care Plus services may be processed under your insurance plan’s emergency room benefits. This could mean different out-of-pocket expenses for you. Your bill is based on your individual insurance benefits as shown on the explanation of payment notice that we receive from your insurance carrier. We’re here to help with your billing and financial assistance questions. Please contact us through MyChart, the MaineHealth patient portal, or call 1-866-804-2499 (toll-free) Monday through Friday: 8 am – 4:30 pm.
