Advanced Urgent Care

What Advanced Urgent Care does

Advanced Urgent Care operates a privately-held, physician-owned ambulatory care practice based in Orland Park, Illinois, with two physical clinic locations in the Chicago metropolitan area (Orland Park at 10 Orland Square Dr and Chicago Midway at 5907 W 63rd St). The practice is led by Mohamad R. Alzein, MD, a board-certified internist with 28 years of cross-acuity experience, and is staffed by a team of 51-100 employees. It serves approximately 15,000 patient visits per year, with a primary care panel of ~10,000 patients under Dr. Alzein, and reports a 95% patient satisfaction rating across more than a decade of operation.

The core service offering bundles urgent care, primary care, and advanced diagnostics under a single roof. Clinical capability is anchored by an in-house stat laboratory, digital X-ray, ultrasound (including echocardiogram), overnight sleep apnea testing suites, and dedicated IV treatment bays that enable ER-equivalent interventions (IV antibiotics, IV steroids, IV fluids) at urgent care pricing. Supporting technology infrastructure is intentionally light and commodity-based: Zocdoc for online appointment booking, Stripe for subscription billing, and EClinicalWorks for the patient portal, with no proprietary software or AI/ML components.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service patient visits billed to commercial insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare) and government payers (Medicare, TRICARE, RR Medicare, Wellcare), supplemented by discounted self-pay rates for uninsured patients and a newer recurring subscription channel, the Physician Direct Plan, offered at $125/month, $100/month (3-month commitment), or $999/year with bundled visit allowances and discounts on medications, labs, and imaging. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via walk-in traffic, the clinic website, Zocdoc, and patient testimonials, with no employer, referral, or payer steerage channels disclosed.
