Veritas Health Group

What Veritas Health Group does

Veritas Health Group operates as Veritas Urgent Care, a privately held walk-in urgent care provider founded in 2015 by Dr. Lachin Hatemi, MD and headquartered in Lexington, South Carolina. The company serves individual patients, families, local employers, and eligible veterans across the Midlands region with non-life-threatening acute care, occupational health services, and on-site diagnostics including digital X-ray and laboratory testing. It accepts all major insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid, offers self-pay bundle pricing for uninsured patients, and provides bilingual English and Spanish service. Veritas is a VA-authorized urgent care provider, allowing it to treat veterans under the VA community care network.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer model with no appointments required at most locations, supported by third-party digital infrastructure: online appointment booking via Solv Health, online bill payment via healow Pay, and electronic health records. Locations include the original Lexington clinic on Columbia Avenue, an evening-hours West Columbia clinic on Medical Circle, a newly opened Columbia clinic on South Assembly Street, and a forthcoming location on Broad River Road in Columbia. The clinical and operations team totals roughly 13 employees, including one physician-owner, a COO and clinical director, a billing and medical office administration director, two clinical team leaders, an outreach and social media specialist, and additional clinical and administrative staff.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service patient visits reimbursed by insurance or paid via self-pay bundles, with a secondary stream from employer-billed occupational health services such as drug testing, pre-employment and work physicals, workplace injury treatment, vision and hearing screenings, and wellness programs including flu vaccines and blood panels. Marketing is driven by local SEO, blog content, Google Reviews, organic social media, and the Solv Health online booking integration. Veritas has no disclosed external funding, no mobile application, no public API, and no documented AI or automation capabilities; the company's technology footprint is limited to on-site digital X-ray, in-house lab testing, EHR, and third-party booking/payment integrations.
