OHIOHEALTH URGENT CARE LLC

What OHIOHEALTH URGENT CARE LLC does

NextCare, the platform operating under the OhioHealth Urgent Care LLC and other legal entities, is a privately held multi-brand urgent care provider founded in 1993 and headquartered in Tempe, Arizona. The company operates 150+ (and up to 170+) walk-in clinics across 11-12 US states, including Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, and Wyoming, under the NextCare Urgent Care, Access Medical Centers, Michigan Urgent Care, and College Drive Urgent Care brands. Services include treatment of minor illnesses and injuries, on-site X-rays and lab work, physicals (including DOT and sports), immunizations, pediatric care, antibody testing, and occupational health for employers (workers compensation, drug testing, DOT physicals). The platform also offers virtual care/telehealth through the NextCare Anywhere app and an online check-in system that lets patients reserve spots and reduce wait times.

The business model is a hybrid of per-visit fee-for-service billing (insured and self-pay at a $250 base rate), subscription-based Medical Discount Programs (ValueCare annual at $65/year and Advantage monthly at $39/month,), and B2B occupational health contracts with employers. Patient acquisition is direct-to-consumer through clinic foot traffic, organic search, content marketing, community sponsorships, and primary care physician referral partnerships. Third-party technology integrations include Sharecare for medical records, PersonaPay for billing, and Google Maps Platform APIs for location services. The company is HIPAA, CCPA, and Virginia CDPA compliant.

In July 2023, NextCare formed a joint venture with Baylor Scott & White Health, the largest not-for-profit health system in Texas, to jointly own all 41 NextCare locations in Texas. The company has historically grown through both organic clinic openings and acquisitions of independent urgent care practices, including Access Medical Centers (2012), Troyer Urgent Care and Chino Valley Medical Center (2015), Michigan Urgent Care (2020), Taos Urgent Care (2021), and five Tucson-area locations (2021). The platform is housed under multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries including Access Medical Centers, Michigan Urgent Care, College Drive Urgent Care, Troyer Urgent Care, and Chino Valley Medical Center. No venture capital or private equity investors are identified in the source data.

Direct peers

• GoHealth Urgent Care: Multi-state urgent care operator (200+ centers) backed by TPG and partnered with health systems (e.g., Northwell, Dignity Health, Mercy). Competes with NextCare on co-located health-system urgent care JV model and consumer walk-in volume.

Broad incumbents

• CVS MinuteClinic (CVS Health): Nation's largest retail clinic operator (~1,100+ locations) embedded in CVS pharmacies. Competes with NextCare on low-acuity walk-in visits and basic occupational services; broader portfolio and significantly larger retail footprint create indirect scale and pricing pressure.
• Walgreens VillageMD / Healthcare Clinic: Retail-clinic and primary-care offering inside Walgreens stores, including urgent care-adjacent services. Directly overlaps NextCare on convenient, low-acuity walk-in care and telehealth, with substantially deeper consumer marketing reach.

Regional players

• Banner Urgent Care (Banner Health): Operates 50+ urgent care clinics primarily in AZ, CO, and other Banner Health markets. Closely comparable to NextCare on walk-in urgent care services in shared Arizona footprint and offers an example of a hospital-system-owned urgent care model.
• CityMD (Summit Health / Optum): Large urgent care and primary care platform concentrated in the Northeast and now part of Optum (UnitedHealth Group). Closest comparable to NextCare on the walk-in urgent care consumer experience model, though geography and ownership (PE-owned, then UnitedHealth) differ.
