When you want fast and affordable medical care for certain common ailments that have specific treatments, you can access the Gopher Quick Clinic walk-in clinics on the Twin Cities campus and QuickCare on the Duluth campus. These clinics, along with the MinuteClinic locations in the Twin Cities, are in-network providers for all UPlan Medical Program options.
The walk-in clinics do not require appointments or referrals, and the visits generally take about 15 minutes. When you arrive at the clinic, show the clinician your UPlan card to verify that you are an active participant in one of the UPlan medical options.
You will have a $5 copayment per visit for treatments and screenings. There is no copayment for immunizations. In Medica HSA, the cost of the visit is applied to the deductible, or if funds are available, it is paid out of the account balance.
The clinics are staffed by board-certified physician assistants or nurse practitioners who are trained to diagnose, treat, and provide prescriptions when needed. If necessary, they will refer you to your regular health care provider.
The Gopher Quick Clinic offers health care services to student, faculty, staff, and others in the community. Dependents of faculty and staff enrolled in a UPlan medical plan may also be seen here. Gopher Quick Clinic serves patients 5 years of age and older, with the exception of strep tests and flu vaccines provided to children one to four years of age.
Gopher Quick Clinic is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, at its two locations:
QuickCare offers health care services for UMD employees, spouses/same-sex domestic partners, and dependent children.
Located in 107 Kirby Student Center, on the UMD campus, QuickCare is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, during the academic school year. QuickCare will be closed on employee holidays and other times when the UMD Health Services facility is closed.
MinuteClinic offers health care services to faculty, staff, their dependents, and the general public. MinuteClinic services are not available for children under the age of 18 months. There are MinuteClinic locations throughout the Twin Cities metro area.
