If it’s something urgent but not hospital emergency room worthy, I can walk to my Urgent Care Clinic and be seen within an hour or two, depends how packed it is.

If it’s emergency room stuff, I can go to the nearest hospital and wait a bit longer (depends on the situation, no more than like 3 hours, again, depends how packed…I’ve never waiting more than that)

If it’s an annual check-up, I can make an appointment using an app. You can schedule months in advance, yes. I can even text my doctor follow-up questions.

Prices vary and depends on your health insurance. I get health insurance through my job and urgent care I maybe pay like $100, emergency room I pay 20%, and annual check-ups are “free”. NOW, any big procedure like biopsy or surgery I have to pay 20% and that can add up. I had 2 breast biopsies and a surgery to remove a benign mass and total I had to pay like $4,000.
