Not a KVHC Patient? Not a Problem! Everyone is Welcome!
What is Open Access?
Open Access means that you can walk in to a participating KVHC clinic for non-emergency care without a prior appointment. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you came from, we will care for everyone, even if you aren’t currently a KVHC patient. Open Access can save you hundreds of dollars compared to the average cost of a visit to the ER. You can go to Open Access for care that you would normally go to your Primary Care provider for – if you have immediate need for care, you should still go to the emergency room.
