From what I see around me, they advertise that they are both Urgent Care and Emergency Room. UC hours of operation end in the evening, and coming in past the COB automatically puts you to ER billing and pricing. But if you come in during UC hours and the procedures are outside of UC, you can still end up being billed as an ER customer. The difference is usually in thousands.
