About urgentcare.chat

Every clinic comes from the federal NPI provider registry run by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, filtered to organizations registered as urgent care. We remove billing companies, mobile and virtual-only services, registered-agent addresses and duplicates.

Each listing is then checked against Google Maps to confirm the clinic is open and to place it at its real address. Clinics that show as closed or can't be found are removed. The directory is refreshed at least monthly and currently lists 10,260 clinics across the United States.

A distance marked with ~ is estimated from the clinic's ZIP code because it hasn't been confirmed yet. Hours and services change, so always call ahead.

By distance only. No clinic can pay to appear, move up, or be featured, and we don't take referral fees or per-patient payments. Getting a listing verified is free, and a Verified badge never changes where a clinic ranks.

Most questions are answered straight from our reviewed guides, and only messages no guide covers go to an AI assistant. Before anything you type is answered, a fixed set of rules checks it, in English and Spanish, for warning signs like chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke signs, severe bleeding, a fever in a young baby, or thoughts of self-harm. If one matches, you see the 911 or 988 screen right away. The AI can make a conversation more cautious, but it can never overrule that screen.

The assistant helps you choose where to go. It doesn't diagnose, recommend medicines, or replace a clinician. See the medical disclaimer.

Condition guides explain when urgent care is usually a good fit and the warning signs that mean you should go to the ER. Weekly flu, COVID-19 and RSV numbers come directly from the CDC's National Syndromic Surveillance Program, with the source and date shown on each page.

We don't ask for your name, date of birth, insurance details or any other identifying information, and what you type in the chat isn't stored. Read the privacy policy.

The site is free to use. It may show clearly labeled ads on directory pages. Ads never appear in the symptom chat and never affect which clinics you see or their order.

See something wrong? If you run a clinic, get it verified to fix it. Anyone can use the same form to report a closed clinic or an error.
