Retail Health Clinics: Convenient, Affordable and Easy to Access

Anthem Blue Cross has expanded their network of providers to include retail health clinics: small, walk-in clinics located inside retail outlets, like pharmacies and supermarkets. Retail health clinics offer basic primary care services, including:

Treatment for common ailments like minor allergic reactions, coughs and sore throats, and minor fevers and colds

Wellness and prevention services, such as camp physicals, vaccinations, and cholesterol and diabetes screenings

Retail health clinics provide care that saves time and money, offering Anthem members:

Located near where members work, live or shop

Usually open during the same days and hours as the store (including weekends, evenings and some holidays)

No appointments necessary

Most visits take only 15 minutes
