ABC Urgent Care

Allergy symptoms, anxiety and mood disorders, bronchitis, colds, earaches, fevers, flu and flu-like symptoms, gastrointestinal disorders, high blood pressure, headache and migraine, infections, pink eye, rashes and skin disorders, sinus conditions, sore throat, STDs, UTI, and vaginal infections.

Two of these are worth noting because they are less commonly listed by urgent care clinics: anxiety and mood disorders, and high blood pressure - both ongoing conditions rather than acute complaints, consistent with the clinic also offering primary care.

The clinic treats adults and children, and describes itself as offering family care.

It has an on-site laboratory and on-site X-ray, so tests and imaging are done during the visit.

The clinic is a Certified Comprehensive Urgent Care Center, certified by the Urgent Care Association.

No appointment is necessary.

The site does not publish which conditions it will not treat, or when to go to an emergency room instead.

Both Medicare and Medicaid are accepted, along with Keystone First and HealthChoices, which are Pennsylvania Medicaid managed care plans - so the clinic takes public as well as commercial insurance. That is worth knowing, since not every urgent care clinic does.

No prices, self-pay rates, copays or cost estimates are published anywhere on the site, for any service. There is no published self-pay price list, even for the physicals and immigration exams that are commonly paid for out of pocket.

To ask about coverage or cost, the published contacts are phone 215-970-9500, text 215-821-9022, or email wang@urgentcareabc.com.

The site does not state whether the clinic is in-network or out-of-network with the plans named, whether it bills insurers directly, what a self-pay visit costs, payment methods accepted, or whether payment is due at the visit.

No appointment is necessary - this is a walk-in clinic. There is no online booking system published on the site.

Languages

the clinic serves patients in English and Chinese (Mandarin), and the site has a Chinese-language section. It is also referred to as ABC Primary and Urgent Care and by its Chinese name.

The provider named is Dr. Shuang Wang.

The clinic is a Certified Comprehensive Urgent Care Center, certified by the Urgent Care Association, and has an on-site laboratory and X-ray.

The site does not publish wait times, whether it closes for lunch, holiday hours, parking or public transport information, accessibility, or after-hours arrangements.

Closed fractures are named specifically - a broken bone where the skin is not broken - which the clinic can handle because it has on-site X-ray. Crutches and splints are supplied.

Workplace injury and auto accident injury are listed separately from general injuries. Both usually involve a third-party payer - workers compensation or auto insurance - and separate documentation.

Lacerations and wound care mean the clinic closes cuts.

The equipment and testing published to support this work is on-site X-rays, on-site laboratory services, EKGs, pulmonary function tests, and crutches and splints.

No appointment is necessary and the clinic is open Monday to Saturday, 9:00am to 5:00pm.

The site does not publish whether it treats open fractures or dislocations, whether it can cast a fracture or refers on, follow-up arrangements, or how workers compensation and auto insurance claims are billed.

Immigration physicals are the significant one. These are the medical examinations required for US immigration applications, and they can only be performed by a physician designated for that purpose - so this is a specific credential rather than an ordinary physical.

DMV driver's license exams and home care and healthcare physicals are also specialised: the latter are the medicals required for people working in home care and healthcare settings.

The immunizations published are COVID-19, flu, tetanus and pneumonia vaccines.

COVID-19 walk-through testing is also offered.

No appointment is necessary for any of these, and the clinic is open Monday to Saturday, 9:00am to 5:00pm.

The site does not publish what to bring to a physical, how long any exam takes, whether forms are completed the same day, prices for physicals - which are often self-pay rather than insured - or whether the immigration physical includes required vaccinations and lab work.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
