Who will treat you
Every visit at PACS is physician-led. Our team includes board-certified physicians, including a board-certified emergency medicine physician, and board-certified physician assistants. You can meet our board-certified providers before you come in.
Cost and insurance
PACS participates with most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem, Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, Medicaid, Oscar, UnitedHealthcare/Oxford, WellCare and Virginia Premier, plus workers’ comp and no-fault. See the full list of insurance we accept and call ahead to confirm your plan.
No insurance? We post our self-pay pricing online, and a visit plus add-on services is capped at a set maximum (outside labs not included). Our guide to urgent care cost without insurance walks through real examples.
Urgent care or the emergency room?
Urgent care is the right choice for problems that need attention today but are not life-threatening. Go to the ER or call 911 for:
- Chest pain or pressure
- Signs of stroke: face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech
- Severe trouble breathing
- Heavy bleeding that won’t stop
- Major injuries, such as a bone pushing through the skin
- Loss of consciousness or seizure
- A severe allergic reaction with throat or lip swelling
Not sure? Read our full guide on urgent care vs. the ER. If you’re weighing a regular doctor’s visit or a video visit instead, see urgent care, primary care or telehealth.
Can’t come in? Try a telemedicine visit
For many non-emergency problems, you can see a PACS provider by secure video from home. Telemedicine works well for things like cold symptoms, allergies, rashes and many UTI symptoms.
