it works either way prior appointment or emergency walk in.. They may charge u with copay based on your coverage plan.

Medical is a big expense in US. Do you have medical insurance? If yes, then find a doctor close by who is in your insurance network and get an appointment. Go to the insurance website to find in network physicians.

For you though the best bet may be look for an Urgent care clinic - you do not need appt. to go there - be ready to spend $100-200. Also try CVS minute clinic near you - that may be quickest and cheapest. oh - and learn to use google for anything and everything. It will make your life easier.

Also, for just low grade fever you can buy over the counter medicine like Tylenol (advil) or Motrin and self treat. If fever is high grade (over 103) or persisting for over a week or associated with other symptoms then only see a doctor.

U can go to emergency care centers that are open 24*7. Their charges are bit high than regular ones if u hv insurance.

Take care
