Primary care for the whole family — check-ups, chronic-condition management and same-day sick visits, billed at standard office rates.

Not Sure Which You Need?

What brings people in

Come in for any of these

This is not a complete list, and you do not need to match it to be seen. If you are worried enough to be reading it, come in.

Chest pain or pressure — Especially with sweating, nausea, or pain spreading to the arm or jaw

Stroke, head injury and sudden headache

Stroke symptoms — Face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech, sudden confusion

Sudden severe headache — The "worst headache of my life", or with vision changes

Head injury — Any loss of consciousness, confusion, repeated vomiting after a blow

How long you will be here

Why a freestanding ER is usually faster than a hospital ER

There is no inpatient census ahead of you. No ambulance diversions. One department rather than a campus, and no clinic schedule competing for the same physician. That is how the building is organised, not a promise about today.

And triage still comes first: if someone arrives sicker than you, they go first. That is how every emergency room works, including this one — and it is the main reason any single visit can run longer than the figures below. A median is the midpoint, so by definition half of visits take longer than one.

Under 30 minutes

Our median wait from arriving to being seen, year round.

About 1.5 hours

Our median visit, from walking in to walking out.

168 minutes

The national median time spent in an emergency department before leaving, reported by CMS (Timely and Effective Care). Measured the same way as ours, so the three are directly comparable.

In partnership with HealthPass

The bill is the part people dread. This is what we did about it.

HealthPass is a healthcare membership — not insurance. It pays the copays, deductibles and coinsurance your insurer assigns for eligible visits to this emergency room, and it applies to visits you have already had, not only the ones ahead of you.

Visits already behind you

An eligible visit you have already made can be paid for. That is unusual, and it is the part worth knowing if a bill has already arrived.

The visit in front of you

Come in first and sort the money afterwards. Nobody is turned away, and no cost question is settled at the door.

And the ones after that

Membership keeps paying those costs for future eligible visits here, so the next emergency is not also a calculation.

HealthPass is a separate company and it is not insurance. It is a membership that works alongside the insurance you already have — never in place of it. You do not need it to be seen here; our doors work the same either way. What it covers, the price and the sign-up all live on their own site, because the product should make its own claims.

When minutes matter, we are minutes away.

Fountain Hills spent decades without an emergency room. Getting to one meant a drive down Shea Boulevard at the worst possible moment. We were built so our neighbours never have to make that drive again.

About your bill, before you worry about it

If something arrives from your insurance company after your visit, it is almost certainly not a bill. It is an Explanation of Benefits — a statement of what they paid. The large number on it is not what you owe.

For emergency care, federal law limits your share to the ordinary in-network copay, coinsurance and deductible your plan already sets. We do not bill you for the difference, and we never will.

If anything you receive is unclear, call us before you pay it. Our billing team would rather explain a statement than have you pay something you do not owe.
