Does urgent care do X-rays?

OneSpotMD offers walk-in X-ray services at Steele Creek during clinic hours; availability can change. A provider examines you first and decides which X-ray you need. If you have already been evaluated at Plaza Midwood and sent for an X-ray, no second evaluation is needed at Steele Creek. You don’t need an appointment, an outside order or a separate trip to an imaging center.

What we X-ray

The provider decides whether an X-ray is appropriate and whether we can perform the needed views. These are the most common:

X-ray Common reasons
Chest Cough, pneumonia, chest injury or trouble breathing. See bronchitis and cough care.
Ribs A fall or hit to the chest, or pain when you breathe
Belly (abdomen) Belly pain, constipation or a swallowed object
Hand, finger and wrist A fall on your hand, a jammed finger, or glass in a cut
Foot and ankle A rolled ankle, a stubbed toe, or pain when you walk
Knee and shoulder Sports, falls, lifting and work injuries
Head or facial injury Assessment first. A plain X-ray cannot rule out brain injury; significant head injuries may need emergency care and CT imaging.

We don’t do CT, MRI or ultrasound. If you need one, we’ll refer you.

How much does an X-ray cost?

Have insurance? You pay your plan’s share
  • Copay: you pay the copay amount set by your plan at the visit.
  • Deductible or coinsurance: your share depends on your plan and services received. You may receive a bill after insurance processes the claim.
  • NC Medicaid plans: copays for covered visits with most NC Medicaid plans are usually $0 or $4; confirm coverage and costs.
  • X-ray: imaging may be subject to your plan’s deductible, coinsurance or other cost-sharing. Confirm benefits with your insurer.

Self-pay prices

These are discounted prices for patients who don’t have insurance or choose not to use it. $140 for the visit plus $95 per body part. All views of that body part, the radiologist’s read and any facility costs are included.

What “per body part” means

An ankle X-ray often needs 3 views (front, side and angled). All 3 are included in one $95 X-ray. If you need your ankle and your knee X-rayed, that’s 2 body parts, or $190.

Splints, boots, crutches and slings are priced separately, only if you need them. See all the plans we take on our insurance page.

X-ray with us vs. a hospital imaging center

OneSpotMD Steele Creek Hospital imaging center

Getting an order ✓ Our provider examines you and orders the X-ray in the same visit You need an order from a provider first
When ✓ During the visit when clinically appropriate and available Often a separate appointment
Fees ✓ The $95 self-pay imaging fee includes the radiologist read and no facility fee; the $140 visit is additional. Separate imaging, radiologist and facility fees are common

Avoid a surprise bill

At OneSpotMD, the $95 self-pay imaging price per body part includes the radiologist read and no facility fee. The $140 visit and other services or supplies are additional.

Seen at Plaza Midwood? Use your X-ray fast pass

Our Plaza Midwood clinic doesn’t have an X-ray machine. If your Plaza Midwood provider orders an X-ray, staff coordinate the next step with our Steele Creek clinic:

  • If your Plaza Midwood provider has evaluated you and ordered an X-ray, you receive a fast pass for Steele Creek
  • No second evaluation or new appointment is needed. Walk in during Steele Creek business hours
  • Tell the Steele Creek team you have been evaluated at Plaza Midwood and are there for your fast-pass X-ray. The team can usually take care of your X-ray within a few minutes; wait times can vary. This refers to the X-ray visit, not the time to receive the final radiologist report
  • Your Plaza Midwood provider sees the images and follows up with you

After your X-ray

If your X-ray shows What happens next
No fracture seen Care based on the exam. Some fractures are not visible initially; persistent pain may need repeat imaging or specialist assessment.
A simple break We splint it in the clinic, including custom fiberglass splints, and set up follow-up care
A displaced break or one that may need surgery Stabilization when appropriate and urgent orthopedic or emergency referral based on severity; appointment timing depends on availability
Pneumonia or another chest problem Antibiotics or other treatment, and a follow-up plan

Fast orthopedic referrals

If you have a displaced fracture or a break that may need surgery, we coordinate orthopedic or emergency referral based on urgency; specialist appointment timing varies. For example, a wrist fracture that may need surgery goes to a hand and wrist surgeon. We splint you in the meantime, so treatment starts right away.

Pain and swelling relief right away

The provider chooses pain relief after reviewing your history and medicines. Ketorolac (Toradol) is an option for selected patients, but is not appropriate for everyone, including people with certain kidney, bleeding, ulcer or pregnancy risks. Worsening swelling may require urgent reassessment rather than an injection.

Both clinics stock boots, crutches, slings and splints. See sprains, fractures and orthopedic care.

X-rays for kids, pregnancy and work injuries

Topic What to know
Kids We X-ray kids too. The provider considers age, cooperation and whether the exam can be performed safely; some children need referral. See urgent care for kids.
Pregnancy Tell us if you are or might be pregnant. Your provider will talk with you before any X-ray.
Work injuries We do X-rays for workers’ comp injuries.

Why you shouldn’t wait

Prompt assessment can help identify injuries or illness that need treatment. Imaging is used only when clinically indicated.

If you wait What can happen
A break you can’t see from the outside It can heal crooked or not heal, and recovery takes longer
Walking on an injured foot or ankle More damage to the bone or joint
A cough that may be pneumonia It can get worse and may need a hospital stay
Glass or metal left in a cut Infection, or the piece working its way deeper

When to go to the ER instead

  • A bone pushing through the skin
  • A limb that looks badly bent or out of place
  • Numbness, or a cold or blue hand or foot
  • A serious head injury, passing out, or confusion
  • Severe trouble breathing or chest pain
  • Anything you think is life-threatening

Call 911 for any of these.

I took my mother-in-law to their urgent care earlier this week, and we were both so impressed. The practice is brand new and spotlessly clean – everything looks and feels modern and super clean. From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. We barely waited at all before being seen, which was a pleasant surprise for an urgent care visit. We saw Dr. Lee, and he was outstanding. He’s clearly very knowledgeable, took the time to listen carefully, explained everything in an easy-to-understand way, and has wonderful bedside manner. His clinical decisions were spot-on; my mother-in-law started feeling much better almost immediately after following his treatment plan. She’s still talking about how kind and thorough he was and wanted me to be sure to thank him! The entire atmosphere of the office is warm, calm, and genuinely welcoming – it doesn’t feel rushed or cold like some places can. If you’re looking for a patient-centered practice that combines real medical expertise with a caring environment, OneSpotMD is the place to go.
