FAQ
Urgent Care Clinic Startup questions
Do I need a CON?
Some states require Certificate of Need for facility-level licenses. We screen this in week one.
Can I bill Medicare from day one?
You can bill once your Medicare enrollment (855B / 855I) is processed — typically 60–120 days.
Telemedicine add-on?
Yes — telehealth expands occ-med and after-hours capacity. We layer it onto the EHR.
On-site lab and x-ray?
Standard for UC. CLIA waiver + state x-ray registration are required.
