Express Care is provided by the Occupational Health Clinic as a courtesy service for Vanderbilt faculty and staff. There is no charge for the clinic visit or point-of-care testing.
If we order labs or X-rays, those ancillary services will be billed to your insurance. Costs not covered by insurance will be your responsibility.

If we order labs or X-rays, you will be responsible for those charges out-of-pocket. We are not on the insurance plan, which allows us to see employees without charging a co-payment. However this means that your insurance will not pay for diagnostic studies ordered in this clinic. Depending upon your symptoms or exam findings, we do offer rapid testing for urinary tract infections, strep throat, and pregnancy at no charge.
