Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. Education/Meetings - UCA holds one main continuing medical education convention. A trade show/exhibit hall, as well as a Mock Clinic, are also featured at the convention to provide attendees with extended opportunities to learn about new developments as well as tools to help their practice management and clinical practice. New in 2021; monthly podcasts are presented focusing on Urgent Care Leadership and Urgentology.
  2. Membership - UCA has both individual (physician and non-physician) and clinic memberships. Clinic organizational membership is based on the number of locations/centers and ranges from 1 - 2 to more than 100. Individuals working for clinic members receive benefits as beneficiaries of the clinic membership. Other membership categories include student, pre-opening clinic and vendor members.
  3. Certification/Accreditation - UCA administers a certification program to recognize those urgent care centers that meet the scope of services as defined by the Association. An accreditation program was launched in March 2014 to evaluate and recognize centers that meet not only the UCA defined scope of practice, but also nationally standardized criteria associated with quality and safety. Also, ongoing outreach is conducted to educate the industry and third party payers about the value of certification (recognizing scope) and accreditation (recognizing quality).
