Same-Day Medical Walk-In Care

The Everett-Central Medical Walk-In Clinic is at the same 4201 Rucker Avenue address. It serves patients with immediate non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries.

Common Reason for VisitWalk-In Service
Cold or Flu SymptomsEvaluation for non-emergency respiratory illness.
Ear or Sinus ProblemsEar pain, infections, sinus discomfort and related symptoms.
Stomach IllnessVomiting, diarrhea and related symptoms requiring evaluation.
Urinary SymptomsEvaluation for possible urinary tract infection.
Minor InjuriesSelected sprains, strains, minor burns and other injuries appropriate for outpatient care.
AllergiesAssessment of non-emergency allergic symptoms.
Walk-in is not emergency care. The clinic does not replace an emergency department or offer every diagnostic or specialist service. For potentially serious symptoms, seek emergency evaluation rather than relying on a walk-in queue.

How to Use the Walk-In Clinic

  1. Check your symptoms. Decide whether this is a non-emergency problem suitable for same-day outpatient evaluation.
  2. Open the official walk-in page. Check the department’s schedule and whether it is currently accepting arrivals.
  3. Choose Get in Line. If available, use the online queue tool to obtain an estimated arrival window.
  4. Understand the time. A selected Get in Line time is not a confirmed medical appointment; waits can vary.
  5. Prepare patient information. Bring identification if available, medication details and insurance information where applicable.
  6. Complete check-in. Arrive at the location and follow staff instructions for triage and treatment.

The online queue feature may be unavailable when demand is high. Calling before traveling can help avoid arriving after capacity is reached.

Everett-Central Dental Appointments

The dental department provides preventive and restorative dental care for eligible patients, including routine checkups, cleanings, fillings, extractions, crowns and other appropriate procedures.

Dental ScheduleMonday–Saturday, 7 AM–5:30 PM
First ThursdayOpens at 9 AM due to staff training or meetings.
Second ThursdayOpens at 8 AM.
Appointments425-789-3789
Dental EmergenciesAsk about same-day dental assessment for tooth pain, swelling or other urgent dental needs.

How to Arrange Dental Treatment

  1. Call the CHC appointment line and choose dental scheduling.
  2. Describe the problem: routine checkup, pain, swelling, broken tooth or other dental concern.
  3. Ask whether the clinic accepts new dental patients and your insurance plan.
  4. Check whether a same-day dental appointment is appropriate or available.
  5. Ask about expected costs and sliding-fee eligibility.
  6. Complete the required new-patient information and attend the confirmed appointment.
Dental costs: Preventive, restorative and complex dental procedures can have different charges. A sliding-fee discount does not necessarily make every procedure free. Request a treatment plan and estimate before elective work.

Pharmacy Hours, Prescriptions & Drive-Thru

CHC operates an on-site pharmacy with prescription services and medication counseling. The clinic’s pharmacy team can coordinate with CHC providers and insurance plans to address prescription and authorization needs.

How to Refill a Prescription

  1. Check your medication label for remaining refills.
  2. Open the official CHC Pharmacy page and follow the Pharmacy Portal link, or contact the pharmacy.
  3. Provide the prescription details requested by the pharmacy system.
  4. Ask whether insurance authorization or a new prescription is needed.
  5. Wait for confirmation that the medication is ready.
  6. Collect it during pharmacy or drive-thru operating hours, as applicable.

Important: The pharmacy’s Friday and weekend hours are not the same as the medical walk-in department’s hours. If you need medication urgently outside pharmacy hours, contact the on-call provider or seek appropriate clinical advice.

Insurance, Medicaid & Sliding-Fee Discounts

CHC accepts Washington Apple Health (Medicaid), Medicare, Medicare Advantage, TRICARE, certain private health insurance plans and uninsured patients. Coverage must be confirmed for the specific clinician, service and insurance network.

The clinic offers a Sliding Fee Discount Program based on verified household income and household size. Patients may qualify even if they have some insurance coverage.

Payment SituationWhat to Do
Washington Apple HealthConfirm your Apple Health plan and whether your service is covered.
Medicare / Medicare AdvantageVerify participation and any copays, coinsurance or referrals.
Private InsuranceConfirm CHC is in network and whether the requested service needs approval.
No InsuranceRequest Apple Health enrollment assistance and a sliding-fee application.
Low Household IncomeApply for an income-based discount and provide supporting documentation.
Outside Specialists / LabsAsk about separate fees; CHC’s sliding discount does not cover outside specialist, lab or radiology charges.
2026 discount categories: CHC’s published schedule separates eligible households into income categories, including levels at or below 100%, 125%, 150%, 175% and 200% of federal poverty guidelines. Patient charges differ for medical, dental and behavioral-health services.

Because prices vary by service and income category, do not treat a discounted office-visit amount as the complete cost of dental procedures, outside testing or specialist treatment.

How to Apply for Sliding-Fee Assistance

  1. Open the financial assistance page. Select the Sliding Fee Discount Program application.
  2. Choose your language. Forms are available in English, Arabic, Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.
  3. Enter household details. Include the applicable household members and financial information.
  4. Prepare proof of income. Examples include recent pay stubs, tax returns, unemployment records, SSI statements, child support records or employer statements.
  5. Report no income accurately. CHC permits a signed self-declaration when applicable.
  6. Submit the form and evidence. Provide the completed application and supporting documents through the official clinic process.
  7. Confirm the decision. Ask about your assigned discount category, expected charges and renewal requirements.
30-day document deadline: CHC’s 2026 application specifies that required financial information and supporting documents must be provided within 30 days of the service date to qualify for the discount. An incomplete application can leave the patient responsible for the full visit charge.

For a comparison of financial assistance at another federally qualified clinic, our Burlington Community Health Center guide covers a separate Vermont provider’s sliding-fee and patient-support system. Burlington’s rules do not apply to Everett.

New Patients: Registration & Appointment Steps

Everett-Central serves patients of different ages, including families, children and seniors. Patients who are uninsured can ask about coverage enrollment and reduced charges before their first visit.

  1. Choose your visit type. Primary care, dental, behavioral health, physical therapy or walk-in medical care.
  2. Call or schedule online. Use 425-789-3789 or the CHC medical online scheduling option.
  3. Confirm the correct clinic. Choose Everett-Central at 4201 Rucker Avenue rather than Everett-North or Everett-South.
  4. Ask about new-patient availability. Confirm which providers or departments can accept new appointments.
  5. Review payment. Tell staff your insurance plan or request the sliding-fee application.
  6. Complete the patient packet. Read the required patient-rights and privacy materials and sign the acknowledgment and consent form.
  7. Prepare for the visit. Gather your medication list, relevant medical history and documents requested by staff.
  8. Keep confirmation. Save the date, department, arrival instructions and any pre-visit requirements.

  • Welcome and patient-centered care information.
  • Patient rights and responsibilities.
  • Notice of Privacy Practices.
  • Notice of Nondiscrimination.
  • Medical appointment no-show policy.
