Doctors Express (DRX) is a full service, urgent healthcare franchise that provides the convenience of walk-in service with minimal wait times. The franchise not only offers more convenience than many primary care offices or retail clinics, it often has a broader and deeper scope of services. At Doctors Express, a doctor is always on call, as well as a nurse and other healthcare personnel. This urgent care franchise is designed to fill the “gap” between the primary physician and an emergency room, providing immediate care for patients, particularly those who cannot wait a week or two to see their regular doctor and those with an acute, non-life threatening illness and injury who would rather not sit for hours in an ER and then pay the much higher rates often charged. This, in turn, can ideally allow emergency rooms to focus on treating more serious and life-threatening conditions—which was the original purpose of the ER. According to the CDC (The Center for Disease Control) and other sources, many patients would prefer to go to an urgent care center rather than an ER if one were locally available, in part because 84% of patients at an urgent care center wait less than forty-five minutes to be seen and 60% wait less than thirty minutes. There are currently over 8,000 urgent care centers in the US and this number should grow significantly during the next 10 -15 ten years as the size of the senior population doubles and the number of people with health insurance expands by over 35 million in the next few years.
Doctors Express represents a solid, recession-proof business opportunity. Many franchise owners do not have a medical background, which is not an issue as the franchise system provides the training and support required to makes sure that each Doctors Express clinic provides high quality healthcare. Urgent Care can play a major role in every community health care system. In a clean and comfortable setting, each Doctors Express clinic provides a range of services that not even many other urgent care centers provide:
• Quality care by certified physicians and nurses
• Convenient and efficient walk-in service
• Medical exams, x-rays, and on-site lab
• Prescriptions filled from an in-house pharmacy
• Economical rates and standard procedures widely accepted by insurance plans and Medicare
In cooperation with local primary care physicians and emergency departments, urgent care is designed to create a network of healthcare services that makes sure patients get the treatments they need without delay.
