Glendive Medical Center Lowers Fees for Urgent Care Services

Due to the fluctuations of employment for many families in eastern Montana in recent months, Glendive Medical Center has made the decision to lower fees at the Urgent Care to help offset the stress and financial burden residents in the region are facing.

“This is a tough time for many in our area,” stated Parker Powell, CEO, “After much thoughtful consideration, we have decided to lower our fees in Urgent Care, a service which provides an array of medical services for families.”

Urgent Care was established in 2018 in the lower level of Gabert Clinic and provides a full menu of services for minor illnesses and injuries at fixed, up-front costs. The services are categorized in Levels I, II, and III, depending on the severity and complexity of the illness or injury. Urgent Care provides diagnosis and treatment for non-life threatening conditions that range from sinus and ear infections to simple fractures. Currently, Level I, II, and III fixed rates are $105, $135, and $170 respectively. The new rates will be dropped to the following: Level I $75, Level II $120, and Level III $160 and will take effect on July 1, 2020.

“We are pleased to be able to help in any way we can,” offered Powell, “We know that ‘life’ still happens even in the midst of uncertainty and this is one way we hope to support our local families that need medical care.”
