Patients with and without insurance rely on the emergency department as a source of primary care, so hospitals are often overcrowded. Dr. Matt Bruckel, emergency medicine physician, founded Total Access Urgent Care to give patients an alternative to the fundamentally broken emergency medicine system. Total Access Urgent Care (TAUC ®) provides the unique urgent care experience of a walk-in medical facility which offers many of the same services as the emergency room.
85% of patients are treated and on their way home in 1 hour.
Zero facility fees and 1/8th the cost of a hospital ER.
Patients receive only one bill, that’s it.
The average ER wait time is more than
5½ hours.
*based on Kaiser Health News study
Facility fees average $500-$2,000. This does not include the hospital bill.
Patients receive multiple bills, increasing uncertainty with cost.
*If you need an ultrasound, please visit any location to be evaluated by a board-certified provider. Once evaluated, TAUC will schedule the ultrasound at the Webster Groves/Rock Hill location.
