Middletown Medical opens first 24-hour urgent care in Orange County

MIDDLETOWN – Middletown Medical has opened the first 24-hour urgent care center in Orange County, located at 111 Maltese Drive in Middletown.
Patients can now receive immediate care for non-emergency illness and injuries without an appointment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Medical practitioners are always available to treat all patients, from infants to seniors, without the long wait time or high out-of-pocket costs that are typically associated with emergency rooms.
“This is a big step forward for Orange County residents, who have had to either go to the emergency room for non-emergency care during the overnight hours or wait until the morning,” said Melissa Wolff, the medical group’s marketing director and physician recruiter. “Our 24-hour service allows patients the convenience of faster care for non-life-threatening injuries or illnesses at a lower cost.”
Depending on the patient’s co-pay and level of treatment, Wolff said the average cost of an emergency room visit is $1,233, while an urgent care visit costs between $50 and$150.
Middletown Medical’s urgent care accepts most insurance plans; it also offer worry-free pricing for self-pay patience without health insurance.
Although life threatening injuries and conditions still need to be treated at the hospital, the 24-hour urgent care offers relief from common issues such as broken bones, minor fevers, asthma, stomach pain, rashes, minor burns, removal of stitches and allergic reactions.
