1. Question: Do these clinics accept insurance? In my former city...

(I have since moved to a much more rural area) any of the walk-in clinics did not accept insurance...you had to pay then and there.

If they DO accept insurance, is the clinic time/dates adequately advertised?
If they DO accept insurance, do you have to pay deductibles etc in full up front?

I have seen articles in the past about traveling rural dental services that had people lining up at 3:00 AM for an 8:00 opening.

What is different here?
