When you or your family needs medical attention quickly, and your primary care provider isn’t available, Rapid City Medical Center’s Urgent Care is here to help. We offer convenient walk-in care seven days a week, with the same trusted physicians and advanced providers you know from RCMC. Our clinic bridges the gap between your regular doctor and the emergency room, providing timely, affordable care for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries.

As a physician-owned practice (not a licensed urgent care facility), RCMC uses the term “urgent care” to describe non-scheduled, same-day walk-in visits. This model allows us to offer expert medical care at more cost-effective pricing than traditional hospital-based urgent care centers.

If you have questions about billing, insurance coverage, or pricing, please contact Patient Financial Services at 605-721-8499.
