What is Instant Urgent Care?
Instant Urgent Care is a walk-in urgent care and primary care practice with locations in San Jose, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, plus a telemedicine option for patients anywhere in California. It has been open for over 10 years. Alongside the usual urgent care visits (colds, flu, UTIs, sprains, STD testing) and primary care services (chronic care, preventive care, geriatric exams), it runs a medical weight loss program built around compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, described as "supervised by licensed physicians." It also offers immigration physicals through USCIS certified civil surgeons and occupational medicine services like DOT exams. This is, first and foremost, an urgent care and primary care clinic that has added a weight loss program, not a weight loss clinic that happens to also see walk-ins.
This listing is for its San Jose office at 5138 Monterey Rd Ste G.
What does it cost?
No price is published for the weight loss program, and it does not say whether a monthly fee, if one exists, includes the medication itself. It does say that it is in-network with most major California and national insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Health Net, Medicare and United Healthcare, and that "affordable self-pay rates" are available for patients without coverage or for services insurance will not touch, like weight loss. It specifically says there are no hidden membership fees, which suggests the weight loss program is not sold as a locked-in subscription, but it does not spell out what you would actually pay per visit or per month. Call and ask for the number before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription for your weight loss visit and what their credentials are, since no individual prescriber is named for the program. Ask whether the semaglutide or tirzepatide is compounded or brand-name (Ozempic and Zepbound are both mentioned), and whether that choice affects the price. Ask whether the monthly cost, if there is one, includes the medication or is a separate line item, and what follow-up visits or labs cost beyond the first appointment. Ask whether the weight loss program itself is billed to insurance or handled strictly as self-pay, since that is not stated. If you plan to use telemedicine for this, confirm the visit will in fact be with a physician rather than another type of provider.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you would rather start a weight loss conversation inside an established local urgent care and primary care practice, one that also takes your insurance for everything else, than at a stand-alone weight loss storefront. It is a reasonable first call if you are still deciding what you actually want to ask before committing to a program, since you can get the medication specifics and the price in a single phone call rather than digging through a sales page.
