Vanderbilt Health Clinic at Walgreens Nippers Corner

Matt Kinney

These clinics are advertised as a low cost, up-front option and my experience ended up being the exact opposite. I feel bait and switched and will not be returning here or to any other Walgreens clinic run by Vanderbilt. Beware if you come here uninsured, make sure you ask about the cost of everything. Or else they will not tell you and bill you for it later. The woman who checked me in charged me the expected $119 for the visit and assured me that any additional cost would be clearly communicated for me to agree to. She stated this multiple times. I was tested for COVID and Strep. I agreed to the tests being administered, but there was absolutely no discussion of them costing extra. I was repeatedly told additional costs would be made clear, and none were communicated, so I assumed the tests were covered in the visitation fee. Fast forward a week and a half and I'm receiving a bill of $195 for the cost of the tests. One COVID rapid test for $175 alone. I would have just bought a $25 one down the aisle of the store, if I'd known or been told it would cost 7x more from the clinic. Now a $119 visit will cost me over $300 total. I called Vanderbilt billing and explained this. The agent told me it wasn't noted that I was uninsured and she would submit this charge for review. Now I wait for 2 weeks to see if they'll discount the costs I was never told about. This is why people just don't go to the doctor. I had no way to plan for this expense and I trusted this clinic. Well now I can say it won't be happening again.

Great experience. I was seen quickly, the practitioner was kind, knowledgeable and professional. I was able to pick up my prescription at the Walgreens pharmacy while I waited for my test results. Very convenient. I would definitely go back.

Had routine blood panels done, referred by doctor. Easy and convenient! (Minus the fasting part, of course.)

The care is average, but be prepared for a large bill. Prices are 3x what a normal visit costs at your typical clinic.
