Care Medical Group

What Care Medical Group does

Care Medical Group is a privately held, multi-specialty walk-in and appointment-based clinic headquartered in Bellingham, Washington, founded in 1996 and operated from a single facility at 4043 Northwest Avenue. The clinic operates four core service lines under one roof: urgent care (walk-in, same-day), primary care (annual wellness, chronic condition management), physical therapy (rehabilitation requiring referral), and occupational medicine (CDL/DOT physicals, drug testing, fit testing, workplace injury care). On-site diagnostic capabilities include X-ray imaging and laboratory services (blood work, urinalysis), reducing the need for external referrals, with COVID-19 PCR/antigen and antibody testing processed through Lab Corp and Northwest Pathology.

The business generates revenue primarily through professional services billing (urgent care, primary care, physical therapy, occupational medicine visits) at time of service, supplemented by PPO insurance reimbursements from major carriers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Premera, and Regence. Self-pay patients are charged $235-$449 per visit depending on new vs. established status, with additional fees for labs, X-rays, and procedures. The clinic does not accept Medicare, Medicaid, or HMO plans. A B2B channel serves 200+ employer accounts for occupational health services, managed through a dedicated Occupational Medicine Coordinator.

The company is founder-led by Dr. Richard Wei, MD, MPH as Owner and CEO, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or parent company affiliations. Distribution is exclusively through the single physical clinic (no telemedicine, no app, no public API), with patient acquisition driven by local SEO, an active health blog, Facebook presence, Google Business profile, and Chamber of Commerce community engagement. The clinic's competitive positioning rests on being one of the only credentialed urgent care providers in Whatcom County offering both X-rays and labs on-site, combined with extended evening hours and integrated multi-specialty care.

Broad incumbents
