Metro Urgent Care
Verified listingAbout Metro Urgent Care
## What is Metro Urgent Care? Metro Urgent Care's Fullerton Avenue location, at 5406 W. Fullerton Ave in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood, is an urgent-care clinic that also runs testosterone replacement therapy and medical weight-loss programs. It's one of three Metro Urgent Care addresses (the others are Montrose/Irving Park and La Grange), and it's led by Dr. Jose Ayala, MD. Unlike most cash-pay hormone clinics, this one accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicaid — a real difference if you're used to shopping this category out of pocket.
## What does it treat? On the hormone and weight-loss side, the clinic offers injectable testosterone therapy for men and a medical weight-loss program built on semaglutide, including brand-name Wegovy. It also offers B-12 shots and Botox. Outside that, Metro Urgent Care functions as a standard urgent-care clinic — physicals for sports, DOT, immigration, and pre-op needs, STD testing, workers'-compensation visits, flu shots, strep throat and laceration treatment, and an in-house pharmacy and lab.
## What does it cost? The weight-loss program is priced in tiers: $300 for the introductory month, $400 for each subsequent month, and $500 by the fifth month. A B-12 shot is $10. Testosterone therapy has no published price on the site — you'd need to call to find out. There's also no stated consultation fee for any service.
## Does it take insurance? Yes. Metro Urgent Care says it accepts health insurance from most providers statewide, and names Blue Choice, BCBS PPO, the Federal Employee Program, Cigna, First Health, Illinois Medicaid, Illinois Medicare, several Molina plans, Humana (including Tricare East and Humana Military), United Healthcare, UMR, Meridian, Ambetter of Illinois, and County Care as in-network. AmitaHealth is listed as pending, not yet in-network. Self-pay is also available for uninsured patients, though the site gives only a phone number for pricing, not actual self-pay dollar figures.
## Who's on staff? Dr. Jose Ayala, MD, is the only named provider with a credential clearly tied to his name; the team page lists other staff, including a physician assistant and an X-ray technologist, without linking specific names to specific titles. Metro Urgent Care serves Chicago and La Grange, IL, and is open Monday through Friday 7am–7pm, Saturday 8am–noon, and closed Sundays.
