FastMed Urgent Care: walk-in urgent care and primary care in North Carolina

FastMed Urgent Care is a network of urgent care and primary care clinics with more than 40 locations in North Carolina. Its centers accept walk-ins during opening hours and allow patients to book a visit to reduce wait times. The offering is designed to address non-emergency medical needs that cannot wait for days, with extended hours on weekdays, weekends, and holidays.

Urgent care services

The urgent care offering includes treatment of illnesses and infections, IV hydration, injury care and pain relief, vaccines and immunizations, lab testing, STD testing, and X-rays. School, camp, and sports physicals are also available, along with minor procedures such as sutures and minor surgeries, electrocardiograms, and rapid lab tests for urinary tract infections, pregnancy, strep throat, and flu.

Primary care and ongoing health management

The company offers primary care for routine visits, with preventive care and health education services, chronic condition management, wellness visits, annual physicals, and skin tag and wart removal. It also offers telemedicine to connect with a FastMed provider by video and a personalized weight loss program with GLP-1 options and ongoing support.

Occupational health for employers

The occupational health area covers employment screenings and workplace health services. It includes federal and non-federal drug testing, rapid drug testing, DOT, new hire, and respirator physicals, work injury care, and pulmonary function testing. The company also serves employers and manages workers' compensation.

Labs, imaging, and prevention

The clinics have on-site lab services and X-rays, concentrating many tests and procedures in a single location. On the preventive side, they offer routine and seasonal vaccines and immunizations, as well as flu prevention and treatment. The health resources page publishes educational content on topics such as cyclospora testing, fall allergies, and the value of sports physicals.

Coverage, insurance, and payment options

FastMed accepts nearly all health plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, and offers specific options for self-pay patients.
