  1. Whiplash: Whiplash is a common injury that occurs when the head and neck experience a sudden back-and-forth motion. This can lead to neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and even shoulder or arm discomfort. Treatment for whiplash often involves rest, pain management, physical therapy, and gentle exercises to improve range of motion.
  2. Soft Tissue Injuries: Soft tissue injuries include bruises, sprains, strains, and contusions. These injuries affect muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Treatment may involve rest, pain management, ice and heat therapy, compression, elevation, and physical therapy to promote healing and restore healthy functioning.
  3. Fractures and Bone Injuries: Car accidents can cause fractures and other bone injuries, including broken limbs, ribs, or facial bones. Treatment may involve immobilization through casts, splints, or braces, followed by possible surgical intervention to realign and stabilize the bones. Rehabilitation and physical therapy are also crucial for restoring strength and mobility.
  4. Head Injuries: Concussions are the most common head injuries for car accident victims. Treatment depends on the severity and may include immediate medical attention, imaging tests (such as CT scans or MRIs), medication to reduce swelling or control symptoms, and rehabilitation therapies designed to address cognitive or physical impairments.
  5. Back and Spinal Cord Injuries: Car accidents can lead to back injuries, including herniated discs, spinal fractures, or spinal cord damage. Treatment may involve immobilization with braces or traction, pain management, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery to stabilize the spine and alleviate pressure on the spinal cord.

Urgent Care or Hospital for Car Accident Injuries?

When faced with non-life-threatening injuries, deciding between going to the hospital or visiting urgent care depends on the severity of the injury and the services available at each facility.

For Severe or Life-Threatening Injuries

If you or someone else experiences a severe injury with potentially life-threatening consequences, such as major trauma, severe burns, head injuries, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or loss of consciousness, it is crucial to visit the nearest emergency room. Hospitals are equipped with specialized staff and resources to handle critical situations and provide intensive care.

For Non-Life-Threatening Injuries

    For injuries that are not life-threatening, visiting urgent care can be more beneficial for several reasons:

  • Faster Access: Urgent care centers are designed to provide prompt medical attention, often with shorter wait times compared to emergency departments in hospitals, where patients with critical conditions take priority.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Visiting an urgent care facility can be more cost-effective than a hospital’s emergency department for non-life-threatening injuries. Hospital emergency services are generally more expensive due to their specialized capabilities and infrastructure.
  • Focus on Minor Injuries: Urgent care centers are well-equipped to handle minor injuries like sprains, strains, minor fractures, cuts, and infections. At an urgent care center, you can receive appropriate treatment for minor injuries without overwhelming hospital resources.

While urgent care centers have their advantages, it’s important to note that for severe or life-threatening injuries, immediate emergency medical attention at a hospital is crucial.

How Does AICA Charge for Car Accident Urgent Care?

At AICA, we do not charge patients upfront for car accident urgent care services, provided the patient is not at fault for the accident. In these cases, AICA will inform the patient that costs can be billed through the third-party liability claim. This means the patient won’t have to deal with any upfront costs at the time of their visits. However, if the patient is at fault for the car accident, AICA will take different steps to handle billing. We will first check if the patient has medical payment coverage on their own auto insurance policy or verify their health insurance coverage. In these situations, AICA will collect the payment at the time of the visit.

Regarding billing and payment procedures for car accident injuries, AICA will hold all bills until the end of the patient’s treatment. Once treatment is complete, AICA will provide the patient with their medical records and bills. Alternatively, if there’s a legal representative involved, like an attorney, and AICA has a Letter of Protection with HIPAA authorization, we will provide the records and bills to the attorney. The final step involves submitting the medical records and bills to the at-fault party’s insurance company. Typically, the at-fault party’s insurance should cover the costs of the patient’s medical treatment. This way, the patient can receive the necessary care without upfront costs and get the bills handled through the appropriate insurance channels.

Yesterday was my last day at AICA College Park since my accident in December, there is so much to say about the people who work here and the level of customer service, care, attention, friendliness, and overall amazing atmosphere that they provide. Location is perfect in College Park, right off the highway and in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The entire staff, from the front desk girls, to the physical therapy girls, to the chiros, and the medical team are AMAZING! I feel like I just lost my friends not being able to visit them twice a week every week. I will definitely miss coming here. All the smiles and warm welcomes received. The physical therapy - asking about my day, if everything is okay and helping my back and neck get better. I had the pleasure of having Dr. Hector as my chiropractor, he is awesome, was very helpful in the healing process and also a native Spanish speaker which is a plus for those of us who do speak Spanish. Before coming to AICA, I tried another injury clinic in ATL and walked out after 5 mins - so impersonal and cold. I am so glad that I found AICA in College Park. Trust me, if you are injured and need some healing and TLC you NEED to come to this clinic! Highly recommend to everyone. Thank you again to the guys and girls at AICA - xo Ms. Colon
