What are walk-in appointments?

Walk-in appointments provide access to occupational medicine services without having to schedule a visit in advance. They provide same-day care on a first-come, first-served basis, so you can receive the treatment you need precisely when needed.

Most people associate walk-in appointments with urgent care clinics. But they can be just as beneficial to those seeking occupational medicine. If you injure yourself while working, swing by the office and get started on your workers’ compensation claim.

Are same-day and walk-in appointments the same?

Same-day and walk-in appointments are similar, but they aren’t the same.

Same-day appointments

Same-day appointments are scheduled in advance. For example, call on Monday morning to schedule an appointment. The Monument Occupational Medicine team will get you in that afternoon.

Walk-in appointments

A walk-in appointment doesn’t require you to call in advance. You can walk into the office during business hours and receive treatment right away. This makes them an excellent choice if you need prompt attention and can’t wait.

What are the benefits of walk-in appointments?

Walk-in appointments at Monument Occupational Medicine provide several benefits, including:

• Easy access to qualified occupational medicine providers
• Same-day care for work-related illnesses and injuries
• Last-minute drug testing, respiratory fit testing, and independent medical exams
• Employment physicals
• Prompt attention for workers’ compensation claims

Same-day appointments benefit employers as much as employees. That’s because your boss doesn’t have to wait days or even weeks to get a professional assessment of your illness or injury. This streamlines the workers’ compensation process and saves you both money.

What happens during a walk-in appointment?

The Monument Occupational Medicine team tailors walk-in appointments to each patient’s needs.

First, they review your medical records and ask why you’re visiting. If you’re suffering from a work-related illness or injury, tell your provider so that they can file the necessary documentation.

Or, if you need to complete a work-related screening like a drug test, bring the necessary paperwork. At the end of your visit, your provider will fill out the documentation you submit to your employer.

After completing the required paperwork, your provider finishes the necessary exams and screenings. They document each step of the process, ensuring that you meet all of your employer’s and insurance company’s guidelines.

Most walk-in appointments last 45-60 minutes. After you’re finished, you can return to your routine.
