Tests, X-ray and EKG on site
X-ray, rapid strep, flu and COVID tests, urinalysis and EKG are all done here at the clinic, and X-ray is available every day we are open. Our lab testing and EKG page explains each test.
Do you do blood work?
Yes. We draw blood here and send it to an outside lab, so those results come back after your visit. Ask before you leave how you will get them.
Should I tell you if I might be pregnant before an X-ray?
Yes. RadiologyInfo, the patient site of the American College of Radiology and the Radiological Society of North America, advises telling the staff about any chance you are pregnant. It also suggests leaving jewelry at home and wearing loose, comfortable clothing. More on our walk-in X-ray.
Is your STD testing confidential?
Yes. STD testing is confidential, and self-pay is an option if you prefer not to use insurance. We test for common STIs. Some results come back the same day, and others go to an outside lab.
Ask us before you come in
Call (630) 914-5373 if your question is not answered here, or save your spot online if you already know you want to be seen.
Care for babies, children and teens
We see children from infancy through the teen years for illness and minor injuries. More on pediatric urgent care.
Do you give childhood vaccinations?
No. Routine childhood shots come from your child’s regular doctor or the county health department. The Will County Health Department gives childhood vaccines to Will County residents at locations that include Bolingbrook. The DuPage County Health Department also gives them, for children who are uninsured, underinsured or eligible for Medicaid.
Insurance, Medicaid and self-pay
You can use Medicare, an Illinois Medicaid plan or one of the major insurers we accept, or pay for the visit yourself. Our insurance page lists every plan. Networks change, so call to confirm your specific plan before you come in.
Does Medicare cover urgent care?
In general, yes. Medicare Part B covers urgently needed care, and after you meet the Part B deductible you usually pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount. We accept Medicare. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, call to confirm your specific plan.
What should I bring to my visit?
Bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have one, and a list of the medicines you take and any allergies. When patient forms are available for your visit, you can fill them out before you arrive.
DOT, sports and school physicals
We do DOT physicals 7 days a week, along with sports, school and annual physicals, and you can walk in or save your spot for any of them.
What should I bring to a DOT physical?
Bring a photo ID, a list of your current medicines, and your glasses, contacts or hearing aids if you use them, since the exam checks your vision and hearing. Our DOT physicals page walks through the exam.
What vision and hearing standards does the DOT exam use?
Federal rules (49 CFR 391.41) set the bar. For vision, you need distant sight of at least 20/40 in each eye, with or without glasses or contacts, a field of vision of at least 70 degrees in each eye, and the ability to tell red, green and amber traffic signals apart. For hearing, you must hear a forced whisper at 5 feet or more in your better ear, with or without a hearing aid, or pass an audiometer test instead. A separate federal standard covers drivers whose vision falls short in one eye.
How long is a DOT medical card good for?
Up to 24 months. The examiner can issue a card for a shorter time to keep an eye on a condition such as high blood pressure, according to the FMCSA.
Do you do school and sports physicals?
Yes. Illinois requires a health exam, recorded on the state Certificate of Child Health Examination, before a child starts preschool, within a year before kindergarten or first grade, and again when entering sixth and ninth grades. Bring the form and your child’s immunization record. We do not give the shots schools require, so those come from your child’s doctor or the county health department. See sports and school physicals.
After your visit
If a question comes up after your visit, call us during open hours. For anything that looks like an emergency, call 911.
Can I keep seeing you for ongoing care?
Yes. We also offer primary care in Bolingbrook, so you can come to the same clinic for yearly physicals and ongoing care for conditions such as asthma. If you already have a regular doctor, let them know about your urgent care visit.
What if I am not getting better?
Come back or save a spot if your symptoms are not improving or are getting worse. For children, the American Academy of Pediatrics advises same-day care for a fever that lasts more than 3 days without improvement. For any of the emergency warning signs on this page, call 911 or go to the ER.

Questions and answers
Questions we hear often
Still not sure? Call (630) 914-5373 and we will help you decide.
Do I need an appointment at Pioneer Physicians Urgent Care?
No. Walk-ins are welcome 7 days a week, and no appointment is needed. If you would like to plan ahead, you can save your spot online and come in at the time you pick. Adults and children can both walk in, and weekend visits work the same way as weekday visits.
Are you open 24 hours?
No. We are open every day from 8 AM to 8 PM, including Saturday and Sunday. After 8 PM, you can book a next-day visit online, since the booking page shows the next day’s times in the evening. If you have an emergency at night, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, UnitedHealthcare, Humana and Illinois Medicaid plans, including HFS, Meridian, CountyCare, Molina and YouthCare. Plans and networks vary, so call (630) 914-5373 to confirm your specific plan. If you do not have insurance, self-pay is available.
Can I be seen without insurance?
Yes. Self-pay is available if you do not have insurance. Your cost is the visit plus any tests you need, such as an X-ray or a rapid strep test, so the total depends on your care that day. We do not post prices online. Call (630) 914-5373 for current self-pay pricing.
Do you treat children?
Yes. Babies, children and teens can all be seen here, with no appointment needed, for fevers, ear pain, sore throats, rashes, sprains and other problems that need care today. X-ray and rapid strep, flu and COVID tests are on site if your child needs them. Bring your child’s insurance card and a list of any medicines they take.
Do you have X-ray on site?
Yes. X-ray is available every day the clinic is open, with splints and crutches if you need them, and you do not need an appointment. We do not have CT or MRI. If you need one of those scans, it is done at a hospital or imaging center.
Can I get a DOT physical on the weekend?
Yes. DOT physicals are done on Saturday and Sunday as well as weekdays, by a certified medical examiner listed on the FMCSA National Registry. That matters because FMCSA says a DOT physical must be done by an examiner on that registry. You can walk in or save your spot online for a set time.
