When to Choose Urgent Care vs. the ER
Use urgent care for non-life-threatening issues—sprains, minor cuts, ear infections, mild asthma, and most lab or imaging needs. Head straight to an emergency room (ER) for chest pain, severe trauma, stroke symptoms, or anything that threatens life or limb. Sarasota Memorial’s freestanding ER at 2345 Bobcat Village Center Rd. is open 24/7 if escalation is needed.
Insurance, Self-Pay & Typical Costs
All three clinics accept most major commercial plans, Medicare, and some Medicaid products. Self-pay costs in 2025 average $140-$190 for a basic visit, plus lab or X-ray fees. Ask about up-front “prompt-pay” discounts if you’re uninsured—Millennium and MD Now list transparent self-pay menus online.
New in 2025: Bigger Health-Care Footprint
Sarasota Memorial Hospital has approved a $450 million, 100-bed hospital on North Sumter Blvd., scheduled to break ground later this year and open in 2028. Expect expanded urgent-care and imaging capacity as part of that build-out—welcome news for residents who currently drive to Venice or Port Charlotte for some specialty services.
