"Many of these patients would normally interface through the emergency room... The entry fee for the emergency room ranges between $700 and $1,000, even for minor stuff. For urgent care, it's a couple hundred dollars, depending on where you go. These convenient care clinics are probably the most affordable setting."
Dr. Rahul Rastogi, VP and CCO, Northwest Permanente

This [retail clinic] business model was not present in any significant way 15 years ago. In 2010, 1,200 such clinics existed, according to a Rand Corporation estimate. Accenture's recent estimate is that by 2017, there will be more than 2,800 clinics.
