WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR ORTHOCAROLINA ORTHOPEDIC URGENT CARE VISIT

In an effort to make visiting an OrthoCarolina orthopedic urgent care center a seamless shortcut on your orthopedic journey we've put a list together of what you can expect at your visit:

Upon arrival, you’ll check-in with the front desk staff, notifying them of what you wish to be seen (ex: “Hi, I’m here for my left knee [with any additional detail you wish to share]”)

Payment will be expected at time of service, at intake. We encourage patients to consult with their insurance carrier for the best, most up-to-date, out of pocket costs associated with your visit.

CareCredit is accepted.

An OrthoCarolina provider will perform a physical examination of the injured area, and likely order x-rays on site, if appropriate. Once you have been diagnosed, your OrthoCarolina provider will initiate a treatment plan (i.e. Physical therapy, scheduled MRI, etc.) and arrange a follow-up appointment with an OrthoCarolina specialist when needed.
