HEALTHCARE
EVOLVED

Innovative Care is a medical group that uniquely brings primary care, urgent care and behavioral health together to serve our patients better. 

Here, you can walk-in for a sudden illness or injury seven days a week. You can also make Innovative your home for ongoing primary care needs, or see one of the therapists on our behavioral health team.  

Our urgent care, primary care and behavioral health teams work together to provide coordinated care for our patients. That’s Innovative. We call it healthcare evolved.

Bringing Innovation to Urgent Care

Our experienced urgent care healthcare providers are fast, friendly, and can get you the help you need efficiently. Got a cut that needs sutures? We can do that. Maybe a little state-of-the-art surgical glue on that cut instead? Ooh, now we’re talking. Oh, and by the way: you can make an appointment if you’d like (online, by phone, or even by fax), but appointments are never required, and our wait times are often less than 30 minutes per patient. (That’s the “Express” part). Our clinic provides the urgent care you need in a timely manner and at an affordable cost. Don’t want to come in? Try telemedicine!

Medication Refill or General Telemedicine

This is our most popular telemedicine choice.

ADD Evaluations Telemedicine

This is for patients who feel or have been told they may have Attention Deficit Disorder.

PTSD Evaluations Telemedicine

This is for patients who are wanting to get evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder.

Get your medical card from a clinic you can trust. At Innovative Express Care, you can see a doctor via telemedicine and use your insurance for the appointment. 

To qualify for your medical card, you must:

  1. Have a qualifying medical condition – see list here. 
  2. Have a bona fide patient-physician relationship (two telemedicine visits are required in order to establish this)

If you feel you have PTSD, but have never been officially diagnosed, click here for an evaluation done by telemedicine.

If you have had concussions and believe you have post-concussion syndrome, click here for an evaluation done by telemedicine.

Cost for Illinois Medical Card: 

  • Doctor visit #1 – we take these medical insurance plans and can do visits via telemedicine
  • Doctor visit #2 
  • Illinois Application Fee (Illinois charges $99, $200 or $250 for 1, 2 or 3 year certifications respectively. Patients on disability and veterans are charged half of that fee.

That’s it. There is no more fingerprinting. No more processing fees. If you use your insurance and have hit your deductible, you will only pay the state fee. With insurance, Innovative Express Care is the most affordable place to get your card in Illinois. 

If we do not accept your insurance, the self-pay fee is $175.

OUR
STORY

Innovative Care was born from a vision to create a better healthcare experience. I wanted to create a place where patients could receive high-quality care that is both convenient and affordable.

In 2015, my vision became a reality and Innovative Express Care was born. What started as a single urgent care is now a group of medical practices that meets the modern-day needs of patients.

One clinic for your primary care, urgent care, and behavioral health needs. Welcome to Innovative Care. Healthcare Evolved.
