How Insurance Billing Works for Patients at Our Walk-In Clinic in Guilderland, New York

If you’re planning on using medical insurance to pay for your urgent care visit at Priority 1 Urgent Care, our staff is available to ensure the process goes smoothly. If you have a high-deductible or cost-sharing insurance plan, we use real-time benefit verification to determine your estimated out-of-pocket responsibility. The full estimated amount will be securely collected at the time of your visit and applied to your deductible or co-insurance after your insurance processes the claim. Any required co-payments are due at the time of service. Payments may be made by credit card, debit card, cash, or HSA/FSA card. Tap-to-pay options (Apple Pay and Google Pay) are also accepted.

We submit claims to your insurance company on your behalf. Based on real-time benefit verification, we determine your estimated out-of-pocket responsibility and securely collect that amount at the time of your visit. After your insurance processes the claim, we reconcile your account. Any remaining balance will be communicated and may be processed through your secure payment method on file. If an overpayment occurs, a refund will be issued promptly.
