EmergenciesWalk-in urgent care and emergency cases during posted hours only (open to 9:00 PM weekdays, 6:00 PM Saturday, closed Sunday). The urgent-care page's prose claims 'around the clock' and '24/7 emergency care', but the hours block on every page, including that one, lists closing times and a Sunday closure; the site names no after-hours referral hospital.

Before the bill

Pet insurance covers the next thing, not this one.

Anything already going on counts as pre-existing from the day a policy starts. That is why the time to look is before the visit that costs, not after it.
