Meriter FastCare Clinics offer a convenient and economical treatment option for people suffering from common ailments. The two Meriter FastCare Clinics are located at:

• Shopko West - 7401 Mineral Point Road, Madison
  (get map and driving directions)
• Shopko East - 2201 Zeier Road, Madison
  (get map and driving directions)

No appointments are necessary, and there are no insurance restrictions. For added convenience, patients needing medication are able to choose to have their prescriptions filled at Shopko's pharmacy.

The clinics, staffed by Meriter nurse practitioners, are open 364 days a year and open to anyone. FastCare is healthcare from Meriter health professionals, but you don't have to be a Meriter patient.

How much does it cost?

Patients are charged a flat fee of $49 (including basic lab work), which is paid initially by the patient and can then be billed to the patient's insurance carrier for potential reimbursement.

Services offered at FastCare follow guidelines for retail clinics as defined by the American Academy of Family Practice. Patients will be referred to their primary care physician, immediate care or hospital emergency services if their medical issues are beyond the scope of the FastCare clinic.
