Urgent care billing that keeps up with walk-in volume
Fast, accurate billing for urgent care centers: E/M visits with procedures, modifier 25, in-house labs and more.
How urgent care billing works
Urgent care centers bill most visits with office E/M codes and place of service 20. Visits often include procedures (laceration repair, splinting, injections), point-of-care tests and X-rays, so modifier 25 and CLIA rules matter on almost every claim.

Some commercial plans pay urgent care with a global code such as S9083 instead of separate services, depending on your contract.
