Is Walk-In Care Available at Urgent Care in Rockville, MD?

Yes. Normally, at Physicians Now Urgent Care, we would be able to provide walk-in services or have you come into our office after a short phone call or consultation. However, given the risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have shifted to a telemedicine and telehealth visit structure in order to protect you and the other patients we serve. It’s important to clarify that we are still offering in-person and in-office care — we will just need to connect over the phone first, to determine the services and course of action you need, rather than have you come right into the office or wait in our waiting area.

Spending prolonged periods indoors is the main way that COVID-19 is spread, so we are doing our best to avoid having many people in the office or waiting for the area at once, which is why we are currently using the phone call structure. If you would like to book an appointment or are feeling ill and need our services, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We will set you up with a telehealth appointment with one of our team members, and depending on your situation and what you need, we will schedule you in for a visit or proceed with the best course of action.

It’s a good idea to check with your insurance provider prior to seeking our services to see what your plan covers, and how to go about billing.
