Atlantic ImmediCare clinic opens in local Rite Aid

POCOMOKE CITY, Md. An Atlantic ImmediCare clinic opened its doors in Rite Aid Nov. 28, making for the second retail clinic operation launched by Atlantic General Hospital to open in November.

A basic office visit will cost $49. Atlantic ImmediCare does not accept insurance, however the company will file a claim on behalf of any Medicare patient. Reimbursement for the visit, if approved by Medicare, will be sent directly to the patient or policy holder, the company stated.

The two retail clinic openings are part of a partnership between Rite Aid and Atlantic General Hospital and Health System around three retail clinics announced in September. The third clinic is located in Milsboro, Del.

“The Atlantic ImmediCare clinics will complement the medication counseling and care provided by our pharmacists and provide the convenience of high-quality, affordable healthcare services to patients who won’t have to wait for an appointment to receive treatment for minor illnesses and get basic medical tests,” stated Robert Thompson, Rite Aid EVP pharmacy, at the time of the announcement. “Knowing they will receive the same quality healthcare they would expect from any Atlantic General Health System provider is a reassurance to all our patients.”
