"Despite facing higher out-of-pocket costs for ER visits, individually insured members appear to be underutilizing retail clinics. Greater education efforts targeting those new to health insurance may be warranted as a way to increase awareness of the relative convenience and services offered by retail clinics and to clarify insurance plans' coverage of retail clinic visits." -Maureen Sullivan, Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association chief strategy officer |

"There are more than 3,000 retail clinics currently in operation with one in three consumers having visited one, according to a December 2016 report from PricewaterhouseCoopers' Health Research Institute (PwC)." Source: Healthcare Dive |
