X-rays may be requested by a vybe clinician following a full evaluation. If the clinician recommends an x-ray, you may obtain an x-ray immediately at the current location (if available), or we will refer you to a nearby location with same-day availability. Please note that we cannot accept radiology orders from outside vybe.
We don’t know at the time of your visit how insurance will process your claim. As a result, we keep your card on file to process deductibles, copays, or other outstanding balances. Once notified of a balance due, you’ll have 5 days to discuss any questions or make a phone or online payment. After 5 days, we’ll charge the card you have authorized for the amount due.
If you don’t have insurance, we offer self-pay rates. Self-pay prices are listed at the front desk at all vybe urgent care locations. You can also find the list on our website by visiting vybe.care/self-pay/. All self-pay payments are collected during the check-in process before your visit or immediately after if there were additional services performed.
An out-of-pocket expense is the amount that you have to pay because it is not covered by your insurance or because you haven’t met your deductible. Your deductible is a set amount that you may be required to pay toward covered medical care within a single year. For example, if you have a $3,000 annual deductible, you may need to pay that amount out-of-pocket toward covered medical care before the insurance company will begin paying your claims.
If you have an outstanding balance, it means that you have an out-of-pocket expense that hasn’t paid yet. If you have an outstanding balance from a previous visit, you must pay that amount in addition to the copay for the current visit in order to be seen.
Every insurance plan is different. During the check-in process, we will verify your urgent care copay with your insurance carrier. You can also call the member services number located on the back of your insurance card to ask about specific policies and copays.
If you have insurance, a copay is the set amount that you have to pay each time you visit a healthcare provider. The amount of your copay is determined by your insurance plan and can usually be found on the front of your insurance card. Your copay is collected during the check-in process before your visit. If your insurance is out-of-network, your copay is generally higher than someone with insurance that’s in vybe’s network.
If you’re experiencing a fever, cough or other symptoms, keep track of your symptoms and self-quarantine. In the midst of the COVID outbreak, patients are also experiencing seasonal concerns like allergies.

We can take care of a wide range of healthcare concerns and will determine if you need to be tested for COVID-19 – all from the comfort of home.

The ER treats life-threatening medical conditions, such as chest pains, severe wounds or amputations. Urgent care centers treat conditions that need immediate attention but are not life or limb threatening.

All diagnostic tests have a small margin of error, and COVID-19 tests are no exception. To learn more about why a test might not yield an accurate result, please visit our COVID-19 testing page.
Test results are posted to your patient portal when they arrive. For rapid antigen tests, we post at the end of the day you took your test. vybe will not call you with negative test results, but once you have a patient portal account, you can set an alert to receive an email or text notification when we’ve added new lab results to your portal. Access vybe’s portal, here.
Since it’s a virus, treat COVID-19 in the same way you’d treat the common cold or flu—drink fluids, get plenty of rest, and take over the counter medications to relieve the symptoms of cough, congestion, and fever.
