Is urgent care covered by Medicaid?
Urgent Care
Urgent care centers should be used for non-emergencies. Their purpose is to be available to patients who need quality healthcare when their primary care provider is closed or unavailable for an appointment. An urgent care center can provide service to a patient with a non-emergency illness or injury. An added benefit is that Perfect Health urgent care accepts medicaid.
Emergency Services
When you’re currently having an emergency, call 911 or go to the closest emergency room (ER). If you feel that you’re having a life threatening emergency or severe health issue that needs to be treated immediately, emergency services should be used. A few examples of when emergency rooms are necessary include:
- Severe chest pains
- Miscarriage
- Excessive bleeding
- Major burns
These severe health issues should be treated right away and cannot be put on hold until you’re able to get a doctor's appointment. Call your doctor or primary care provider if you are unsure whether or not you need to go to an emergency room.

Can I go to urgent care out of state with Medicaid?
Yes, you can go to urgent care out of state with Medicaid, as long as the provider accepts federal insurance. If you plan on traveling, you can look for urgent care locations near your destination. An urgent care clinic is a good place to get care when you become sick or injured when you’re away from home. Just check the provider’s website or call ahead before your visit to ensure they accept your medical insurance.
How do I know if I'm covered by Medicaid?
You can check to see if your insurance is active by visiting HealthCare.gov. You can also check Georgia’s website for state-specific eligibility and enrollment information.

How does Medicaid work state by state?
Medicaid works differently from state to state because each state operates its Medicaid program with their own federal guidelines. Medicaid managed care plans will work if the patient is in a different state than their home state as long as the provider accepts federal insurance. This can be confirmed on the provider’s website.
Which urgent care accepts Medicare?
Most urgent care facilities accept Medicare, including Perfect Health. (Medicare is federal health insurance for people over the age of 65. It also covers younger individuals with certain disabilities or those with end-stage renal disease.)
