Cost and insurance
Get answers to common questions about paying for your MoGo Urgent Care visit.
Estimating the cost of your care
Plan to pay when you arrive if you’re responsible for all or part of the cost of your care. You may owe payment if:
-
Payor rate increases
Due to increases in the payor rates for MoGo Urgent Care, patients may receive a bill for greater than $250. An example is when the payor rate is $258 and the patient has a high deductible plan. Since the bill is run through insurance, it does not fall under the self-pay rate, so the patient's responsibility would be for the balance based on their payor amount due to MoGo Urgent Care and their specific plan.
Your insurance has a co-payment (co-pay). Check with your insurance company about your coverage, but on average, most insurance co-payments range between $20 and $50
- You have a high-deductible insurance plan. These types of plans require you to pay your complete deductible (which may be anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 or more) before coverage kicks in. If you have not met your deductible you will pay up to your plans negotiated rate at the time of your visit, and this will be applied to your deductible
- You have a co-insurance plan. These plans typically require you to pay a deductible, but you must also pay a portion of the cost. For example, if your co-insurance — the percentage of the cost of a covered healthcare service that you pay — is 20 percent, and you have paid your deductible, you will pay $50 (20 percent of $250). If you have not met your deductible, you will pay $250, and that will be applied to your deductible. Some plans limit the amount they will pay for an urgent care office visit, so check with your insurance company
- You’re paying out-of-pocket or aren’t using insurance. You’ll pay a one-time, flat fee of $250 for most visits or $50 to $80 for a school or sports physical, depending on the type of physical and age of the patient
What does the flat fee include?
If you’re paying out-of-pocket for a regular urgent care appointment, MoGo makes care available with a flat fee of $250.* This means you receive all the care you need at this price, including:
- An exam with a medical provider
- Visit-related services, such as lab tests or X-rays, provided at MoGo so there’s no need to travel elsewhere
- Follow-up care, depending on what we treated during your MoGo visit
- *Due to increases in the payor rates for MoGo Urgent Care, patients may receive a bill for greater than $250
