Urgent Care Association Nfp

Membership - UCA has both individual (physician and non-physician) and clinic memberships. Clinic organizational membership is based on the number of locations/centers and ranges from 1 - 2 to more than 100. Individuals working for clinic members receive benefits as beneficiaries of the clinic membership. Other membership categories include student, pre-opening clinic and vendor members.

Certification/Accreditation - UCA administers a certification program to recognize those urgent care centers that meet the scope of services as defined by the Association. An accreditation program was launched in March 2014 to evaluate and recognize centers that meet not only the UCA defined scope of practice, but also nationally standardized criteria associated with quality and safety. Also, ongoing outreach is conducted to educate the industry and third party payers about the value of certification (recognizing scope) and accreditation (recognizing quality).
