Home > Media Center > News Releases > AfterHours Holiday Hours AfterHours Available This Holiday SeasonNEWS RELEASE — December 16, 2009 WHAT: AfterHours Urgent Care, urgent care for minor injuries and illnesses by same-day appointment, is available this holiday season at three locations in both the Buffalo and Rochester regions. The service is open to all community residents. WHY: AfterHours is an alternative to long waits and high costs of emergency rooms when a person has a minor injury or illness instead of a true emergency. AfterHours is intended to support a patient’s regular primary care at times when his or her doctor’s office is closed, such as on holidays. BUFFALO LOCATIONS:
BUFFALO HOLIDAY HOURS: Call 716/656-4040 for a same-day appointment.
*The appointment line will be open starting at 8 a.m. on December 24 and January 1. ROCHESTER LOCATIONS:
ROCHESTER HOLIDAY HOURS: Call 585/338-1200 for a same-day appointment. Appointment line hours (availability of appointments varies by site):
HOW: Call ahead to minimize your wait time in center. A registered nurse will answer your call and give you a same day appointment. Nearly all local insurances are accepted. Individuals do not need to be a regular patient of Lifetime Health to use AfterHours, and a report of the visit is forwarded to the individual’s doctor the following day. An urgent care copay is due at the time of visit, and it is generally less expensive than an emergency room copay. For individuals without insurance, or in the small number of instances where a specific insurance is not accepted, payment is due at time of service. # # # |
