The Short Version
Two Corewell Health urgent care clinics opened on the Cascade/Caledonia corridor in 2025–2026. For the majority of conditions that send people to emergency rooms — cuts, sprains, ear infections, UTIs, minor fractures — urgent care costs $150–$250 vs. $1,200–$2,500 for an ER visit, with wait times typically under an hour.
Knowing when to use urgent care vs. the ER is one of the highest-leverage health decisions a family can make. The average ER visit in Michigan runs $2,200 before insurance.

What It Actually Costs
- Urgent care visit: $150–$250 with insurance; $175–$300 without.
- ER visit (non-emergency): $1,200–$2,500 facility fee alone, before physician billing.
- Your deductible matters: If you haven't met your deductible, urgent care counts toward it just like the ER — but at a fraction of the cost.
- No insurance: Corewell has a financial assistance program for uninsured patients. Ask at the front desk.
