Why American Fork Parents Are Ditching the ER

Arliss Fernandez | February 28, 2024 | 3 min read

Here's a scenario every parent in American Fork knows: Your child falls off their scooter, and you're faced with two options: wait for a primary care appointment or pay an ER bill that feels like a mortgage payment.

At our American Fork clinic, we provide urgent care for injuries, illnesses, and everything in between. Need stitches? We do that. Suspect a fracture? We've got X-ray on-site. Feeling lousy and think it's strep? Our lab can confirm it in minutes.

Our flat-rate pricing, $219 for visits and $319 for procedures, takes the guesswork out of healthcare costs. Plus, our membership options make frequent visits easy on the budget.

Did You Know? Most ER visits for minor injuries cost 5–10 times more than urgent care. That's why families trust Medallus to deliver the same quality care for a fraction of the price.
