Lake Scranton Urgent Care

We have finally received more FLU VACCINES at our office! First come, first served. You may walk in to our clinic for the injection if you have no Covid-19 symptoms according to the CDC.

Happy Thanksgiving! We are grateful for the community that continues to support us. Wishing you all an enjoyable and healthy holiday. Our office is closed today and will reopen Friday at 9am.

Happy Veteran's Day! Thank you to all currently serving and those that served in the past. We greatly appreciate your strength, sacrifice, guts, and love of freedom for the USA. We salute you and are here to humbly serve in your time of need.

Our staff is working their tails off here! COVID-19 testing is underway. Everyone seeking the test must call our office first at 570-800-5926. Do not just walk in. We will enter your patient information, verify insurance, collect co-pay if by credit card, ask you questions about your symptoms and illness, and schedule a time for you to come in. For your safety and ours, we are limiting face to face contact for patients seeking the COVID-19 test. Since cold, flu, strep, and other respiratory illnesses share common symptoms with COVID-19, we must treat all symptoms as if it was COVID-19 until a test is negative. Please review all CDC guidelines to be up to date with symptoms, quarantine, treatment, and additional instructions during the pandemic.

We are now doing active infection Covid-19 testing. The process is a bit different than our regular walk-in visits. Everyone seeking the test must call our office first at 570-800-5926. Do not just walk in. We will enter your patient information, verify insurance, collect co-pay if by credit card, ask you questions about your symptoms and illness, and schedule a time for you to come in. We'll have you call when you arrive and the staff will usher you in. In an effort ...to protect you as the patient, our other patients, and our staff, we are taking the utmost precautions throughout our office. Only the patient will be allowed in our office unless they are a minor under 18 accompanied by a parent or guardian, require a caregiver to share patient information, or a translator. We do ask that you have patience with us as we take on this delicate process. See more

Happy Birthday America! Our office will be closed on Saturday, July 4th to celebrate Independence Day. We will re-open Sunday at 9AM. Please stay safe and enjoy the holiday!

If you are visiting our office from Southbound I-81, you will need to exit at the Central Scranton Expressway and drive up Moosic St. Our Moosic St exit 184 is closed for construction. We are open for the duration conducting Covid19 Antibody, illness, injury, Occ Med, Work Comp, Addiction Therapy visits and more. Thank you all who allow us to serve your community!

We are continuing to do Covid19 Antibody visits in coordination with our lab partner. It carries the FDA Emergency Use Authorization. The test requires a blood draw and is very accurate. This is not for ACTIVE INFECTION but for those who had symptoms at least 10 days ago or no symptoms at all. We are not performing the rapid finger stick tests with instant results. Please call 570-800-5926 with any questions about this or any other visits to our office.

Our office is closed today to observe Memorial Day. Our deepest gratitude is extended to those who gave their lives to support our freedom. We will reopen on Tuesday at 9am.

We are getting many questions and calls regarding this. COVID 19 Antibody testing does not test for the active COVID 19 Virus. This test is for asymptomatic (no symptoms) patients or those with symptoms at least 10 days old. Our front desk staff will check each patient in for an urgent care visit. The medical staff will perform an exam first then do the blood draw as deemed appropriate based on the exam. Specimen then gets sent to a third party lab for processing. Our ...staff will then call with the results and they can be sent to the patient portal if requested. We can also forward results to your primary care physician upon request. Most insurances are paying completely for testing and treatment with an ACTIVE COVID 19 diagnosis. HOWEVER, the testing we are performing at LSUC is not for active virus. It may determine prior exposure to the virus. Contact your insurance provider to see that we are in-network to perform the visit. Other insurance plans will cover out-of-network visits. Again, you may want to confirm with your insurer. For those uninsured, we are offering our services for $50. The lab will confirm that you are uninsured while handling the specimen at their location. We see patients 5 years old and older. Parents, please be aware this test requires needles and blood and may not be an easy visit for your children. We recommend if you are bringing a child in to come Monday-Friday 9am-4:45pm. Also please hydrate with plenty of non-caffeinated beverages prior to the visit as it plumps the veins for an easier stick.
