That makes sense, some chains such as Walmart have opened health clinics that I think are staffed by nurse practitioners and/or physician's assistants for simple health problems...

Clinic Convenience

Here are a few ways clinics save you time and money:
No appointment is necessary to visit the clinics
Clinics are open seven days a week. View clinic locations and hours.

Patient data is electronic, which means limited time spent filling out forms and follow-up visits are quick and convenient

All prices are posted clearly, so you always know the cost before treatment

An average Get Well visit costs $65 or less. For additional pricing information, contact the clinic nearest you.

Please note: Healthcare services are provided by independent healthcare clinics. Walmart does not own or operate the clinics and is not responsible for the delivery of medical services. The independent health clinics include: Aurora Quick Care, Express Aid, MedPoint Express, My Health Access, Quick Health, RediClinic, and Solantic. Some clinics accept insurance. Ask your local clinic if their services are covered by your specific health plan.
