Questions about Urgent Care in Arlington, TX

Question 1

Does urgent care in Arlington accept STAR Medicaid?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most urgent care clinics in Arlington — including CareNow, Texas Health Breeze, Baylor Scott & White Urgent Care+, CommunityMed, and Urgent Care of Texas — accept STAR, the Texas Medicaid managed care program. STAR is administered through plans including Amerigroup, Cook Children's Health Plan, Molina, Superior HealthPlan, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Confirm your specific plan with the clinic before your visit.

Question 2

Are urgent care clinics in Arlington open after Cowboys games?

Accepted Answer

Most urgent care clinics in Arlington stay open until 8 to 10 p.m. on weekdays and weekends, including game nights at AT&T Stadium. CareNow and Texas Health Breeze locations near the stadium typically extend hours during major events. For overnight care after a late game, Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital and Medical City Arlington maintain 24-hour emergency departments.

Question 3

How long is the wait at an Arlington urgent care?

Accepted Answer

Walk-in waits at urgent care clinics in Arlington typically range from 15 to 45 minutes. Most clinics on Solv let you reserve a spot online and check in remotely so you wait in your car or at home instead of the lobby. Real-time wait estimates appear on each clinic's Solv listing — useful when stadium events drive surge demand.

Question 4

When should I go to the ER instead of urgent care in Arlington?

Accepted Answer

Go to the ER for chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, head injuries with loss of consciousness, severe abdominal pain, suspected broken bones with visible deformity, or any life-threatening condition. Urgent care handles non-emergent issues like fevers, flu, sprains, minor cuts, ear and urinary tract infections, and rashes — typically in 30 to 75 minutes for a fraction of the cost.

Question 5

Where can I get urgent care in Arlington if I do not have a car?

Accepted Answer

Arlington is the largest U.S. city without mass public transit, so most patients drive, use rideshare (Uber, Lyft, or Via — Arlington's on-demand microtransit pilot), or take the Arlington Trolley between hotels and the entertainment district. Several CareNow and CommunityMed urgent care locations sit along Cooper Street and Lamar Boulevard within rideshare distance of the stadiums; Solv shows clinic addresses and live wait times.

Question 6

How much does urgent care cost without insurance in Arlington?

Accepted Answer

Cash-pay rates for a standard urgent care visit in Arlington typically range from about $125 to $250, with additional charges for X-rays, lab tests, or procedures. Rehoboth Urgent Care publishes three-tier transparent self-pay pricing. Uninsured residents may also qualify for STAR Medicaid (apply through yourtexasbenefits.com) or for primary care at the Arlington Free Clinic, which serves more than 1,600 uninsured residents annually.

Question 7

What does urgent care in Arlington treat?

Accepted Answer

Urgent care in Arlington treats fevers, flu, COVID-19, strep throat, sinus and ear infections, urinary tract infections, pink eye, mild asthma flares, dehydration and heat exhaustion, sprains and strains, simple fractures, minor cuts and burns, rashes, and allergic reactions. Most clinics also offer on-site X-ray, lab work, IV fluids, stitches, splinting, and DOT, sports, school, and pre-employment physicals.
