When you need prompt medical attention, you don’t want to deal with long patient queues and the uncertainty of an overbooked and understaffed urgent care center. That’s why so many Americans are moving away from traditional healthcare systems and towards concierge urgent care systems like the type offered by LX Medical. Below, we discuss some of the unique benefits of enrolling in concierge urgent care.
Why Choose Concierge Urgent Care
LX Medical offers a comprehensive concierge urgent care program that offers a number of unique benefits over the standard urgent care system. While there is a monthly cost to be enrolled in the program, many patients find that the fees are more than offset by the care and the perks they receive. Here’s a look at some of the benefits of our concierge urgent care program:
- We Come To You – You don’t need to travel to a busy urgent care facility across town and wait to be seen by a doctor. Simply let the team at LX Medical know that you’re in need of urgent care, and we’ll come to you. Designed to be used in non-emergent cases, our team of providers can come out to your house and assess your health from the comfort of your home. Whether you’re dealing with strep throat or the possibility of a forearm fracture, we’ll come to you and provide a high level of care without needing to leave your home.
- Text Consultations – Many parents find themselves in a situation where they are wondering if they should head to urgent care or if there is another way to handle their issue. Take uncertainty out of the equation with LX Medical. You can message or call our team and ask questions or search for guidance on how to handle a specific situation.
- Skip The Wait – Not only do we come to you, but you’re not going to have to wait to be seen like you would in a standard urgent care facility. We’ve heard horror stories of patients waiting 3-4 hours or more to be seen. That’s certainly not urgent care! We’ll come to your house or you can visit our Edina-based clinic and you can be seen much sooner than if you had attempted to seek care at a typical urgent care provider.
- Convenience – We can visit whenever and wherever you’re in need of urgent care. If you suffer an injury at the office or while your family is playing at the park, we can come to you where care is needed. We won’t just come to your home, we’ll come to where you need us.
- Providers Who Know You – When you head to a traditional urgent care facility, there’s a good chance that you’re receiving care from doctors and nurses that haven’t seen you before. They will be able to learn about you by asking questions and reading your chart, but you will not get the personalized care that you would with a concierge medical facility. Oftentimes the provider who handles your house call or your urgent care visit is someone who has assisted you in the past or at least has a more in-depth understanding of your unique situation. They may be advised by your treating physician on the way to your house, or they may have taken part in your care in the past. Either way, you’re going to receive much more personalized care when you work with a concierge urgent care team.
- Flexible Scheduling – Think you’re coming down with strep, or do you want to get something checked out after work? We offer flexible scheduling and can prepare for your arrival or meet you at specific times, again cutting down the delay in getting the care you need when you need it.
- Wide Range of Services – Our urgent care program offers a wide variety of services and testing available in-clinic or at your home. We can test for a variety of conditions like strep throat, COVID-19, influenza A or B, RSV and mononucleosis, and we can conduct blood tests or urine tests to look for the presence of other health conditions. We can also treat cuts, lacerations, burns or chronic wounds, we can manage migraines and other conditions through IV therapy, and we can use advanced imaging to rule out conditions or pinpoint specific health issues. We offer an incredible amount of urgent care services.
You have access to many of these services even at our most basic level of membership, so consider taking the leap and regaining more control over your access to better health services.
