Default Another warning:
If you go to The Village's Hospital Urgent Care, you need to be sure they can handle your problem. Now that it's in the same building as the ER, it may be tempting to go to the Urgent Care if the wait time is a lot less.

If Urgent Care examines you and tells you you need to go to the ER, you will be billed for both.

Also, the write-up in the newspaper didn't say what HMOs will be accepted by the hospital's Urgent Care. I don't need to know but it would have been nice for those who live close to the hospital.
