We’ve expanded compassionate care
CareSpot and MedPost are now part of FastMed, the largest independent urgent care provider with almost 200 clinics in 4 states. Learn more about the announcement here.
The addition of CareSpot and MedPost clinics in Arizona and Florida to FastMed’s existing clinics in Arizona, North Carolina, and Texas gives patients and communities greater access to high-quality, convenient, affordable, and compassionate healthcare.
While we are in the process of integrating, nothing changes related to patient experience across the brands. This ranges from services offered to insurance and pricing. Once we are fully integrated, we will be able to provide a seamless experience across clinics, included access to medical records and more.
See below for answers to some common questions you may have.
How is the addition of CareSpot and MedPost clinics to FastMed beneficial to me?

How will CareSpot and MedPost joining FastMed affect my experience at the clinic?
You will continue to have a great patient experience at all of our clinics. We are in the process of expanding the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® in Ambulatory Healthcare across all CareSpot and MedPost clinics, which means you will be assured of consistently receiving the highest quality of care. You can learn more about FastMed’s Joint Commission Accreditation here.
Will my employee be able to visit any FastMed, MedPost or CareSpot clinic in the same state or region for their employment or occupational health services?
Until we fully integrate, we will only be able to provide employment and other occupational health services at the clinics where your company is contracted to receive services. Please reach out to your account manager to help set up an account if one is not already set up. We can set an account up in both systems for consistent services and pricing until all centers are on the same system. For FastMed, contact us here. For CareSpot & MedPost, contact us here.
Will the services provided change at the clinics?
FastMed provides a multitude of services at its clinics ranging from urgent care and occupational health services to family medicine, delivered both in-person and virtually. With CareSpot and MedPost joining FastMed, you will eventually have access to additional services like family medicine and telemedicine. You can learn more about our services here.
Will my provider remain the same at my clinic?
As always, we have multiple providers covering each clinic, and you will have the option of engaging with the same providers at the clinic you may typically visit.
Will my insurance still be accepted?
FastMed, CareSpot, and MedPost accept most major insurance plans, including commercial as well as governmental plans, like Medicare and Medicaid. Complete list of insurance plans accepted by state here.
A few insurance plans will be out of network until FastMed can work with those payers to be in-network. Meanwhile, you can still receive care as you always have at CareSpot and MedPost. The clinic will provide you options.
Will I still have access to my health records at either clinic?
You will continue to have access to your records at the clinic you normally visit. To request your medical records, contact medicalrecords@carespot.com or medicalrecords@medpost.com. FastMed patients can log in to MyChart or request their records by emailing medicalrecords@fastmed.com.
Will the prices change?
Your copays will continue to be charged as per your insurance plan with your carrier. A few insurance plans will be out of network until FastMed can work with those payers to be in-network. Meanwhile, you can still receive care and the clinic will provide you payment options. Self-pay pricing changes are not anticipated as a result of combining the companies. However, self-pay pricing is subject to change anytime independent of CareSpot and MedPost joining FastMed.
Will hours change at the clinics?
Our clinics will continue to maintain the same hours of operation. Based on your needs, we are always evaluating the most convenient hours and may make changes accordingly in the future. You can find the latest hours of operation at your nearest location here.
