About Us

We encourage scheduling appointments whenever possible, but we are happy to accommodate walk-ins if slots are available. Please call in advance to check our schedule. To ensure a quality experience for our current members, we reserve time in our schedule for urgent needs. If our schedule permits, we are more than happy to see you, especially as our practice expands. Same-day appointments are likely available during this growth phase. Your convenience and access to care are top priorities at Tongue River Valley Walk-in Clinic.

At Tongue River Valley Walk-in Clinic, we do not accept insurance. Upon request, we can provide a basic level for your visit that you may submit to your insurance. Please note that a fee will be required for any request for a more detailed coding of the visit. Additionally, membership fees for Direct Primary Care (DPC) cannot be submitted to Medicare. We are unable to accept patients with Medicaid. We're committed to transparent and straightforward billing practices to ensure clarity for our patients.

Sure! Simply complete a one-time waiver stating that neither you nor your doctor will bill Medicare directly for our services. Medicare will continue to cover any prescribed laboratory tests, imaging, medications, or hospitalizations.

At Tongue River Valley Walk-in Clinic, we do not manage chronic controlled substance therapy, including narcotics, stimulants, hypnotics, etc., and we do not directly dispense these medications. However, we are happy to refer you to a specialist for your specific needs. Your health and well-being are our priority, and we'll ensure you receive the specialized care you require.

 We are delighted to welcome the children of our enrolled clients to our clinic! We are happy to see children aged 6 and above for both primary care and urgent visits. For children younger than 6, we are also able to provide urgent care when needed. Although we currently do not offer routine vaccinations for young children, we would gladly assist you in arranging these services. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out! 

We provide tetanus and influenza vaccines at our clinic. We support immunizations, but currently, the storage and administration process is costly for us. The local Health Department has streamlined this process, and we recommend patients visit them for routine vaccines.
