When it comes to deciding if you should visit the emergency room or urgent care, your decisions should largely depend on the symptoms and situation you face. If you are in an emergency, you should visit an emergency room. If you are not experiencing an urgent medical condition, you may want to consider visiting an urgent care center instead. The average cost for an urgent care visit ranges between $80 and $280, while an emergency room visit averages at $2,200.
