Quick Answer
Cost depends on your insurance plan and whether you are paying cash. In North Carolina, cash prices for an outpatient I&D typically range from about $330 to $600. Most major commercial insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicare Advantage are expected to be accepted at opening, in which case you pay your normal urgent care copay plus any procedure-related cost share. Urgent care I&D is almost always dramatically less expensive than the same procedure performed in an emergency room.
