Emergency Medical Condition Evaluations / Motor Vehicle Accident Treatment
TGH Urgent Care powered by Fast Track is an ideal choice for individuals needing care for non-life-threatening injuries after a motor vehicle accident. Open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., 364 days a year, we offer evaluations for those seeking to qualify for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits to address an emergency medical condition (EMC) resulting from an accident.
Florida law mandates that individuals seeking care after a motor vehicle accident must consult a licensed provider within 14 days to remain eligible for PIP benefits. An EMC is defined as a medical condition presenting acute symptoms of such severity—potentially including intense pain—that without immediate medical attention, the following risks could occur:
- Serious jeopardy to patient health
- Serious impairment of bodily functions
- Serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part
Healthcare providers referring individuals for an EMC evaluation may print complete an EMC Evaluation Form that their patients can bring to any TGH Urgent Care powered by Fast Track location in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area.
