What time does CVS MinuteClinic open?
Most CVS MinuteClinics open at 8:00 AM Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM Saturday, and 10:00 AM Sunday at clinics that open Sunday. Hours vary widely by clinic - some open later or run a split shift. Use the MinuteClinic locator to confirm the open time at your specific clinic.
Is CVS MinuteClinic open on Sunday?

Does CVS MinuteClinic take walk-ins?
Yes. CVS MinuteClinic accepts walk-in patients on a first-come first-served basis during clinic hours. You can also book an online appointment at cvs.com/minuteclinic or in the CVS Pharmacy app to reserve a time slot and skip the wait. Online appointments are recommended for school physicals and scheduled wellness visits.
Does CVS MinuteClinic close for lunch?
Many CVS MinuteClinics close midday for a 30-60 minute lunch break, typically around 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM, though the exact timing varies by clinic. Some clinics with multiple practitioners stay open through lunch. Check your specific clinic's hours in the locator and avoid the 1:30 to 2:00 PM window if your clinic observes a break.
What holidays is CVS MinuteClinic closed?
MinuteClinic is closed Christmas Day chain-wide. On other federal holidays (Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, New Year's Day), most MinuteClinics run reduced 10 AM to 4 PM hours instead of full closure. Some individual clinics may close on Thanksgiving or other holidays - confirm with your local clinic.
Is CVS MinuteClinic the same as CVS Pharmacy?
No. MinuteClinic is the walk-in medical clinic inside select CVS Pharmacy stores. Hours are different from the pharmacy counter, services are different (medical care vs prescription fills), and staffing is different (Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants vs Pharmacists). Only about 1,100 of 9,000 CVS stores have a MinuteClinic. See the full CVS Pharmacy hours page for pharmacy-specific information.
What services does CVS MinuteClinic offer?
MinuteClinic handles minor illness (cold, flu, strep, ear infections, UTIs), vaccinations (flu, COVID, shingles, Tdap, travel vaccines), school and sports physicals, wellness exams, blood pressure screenings, cholesterol checks, smoking cessation, and minor injuries (cuts, sprains). MinuteClinic does NOT handle severe trauma, complex surgical care, or chronic disease management - those need a primary care provider or emergency room.
Does CVS MinuteClinic accept insurance?
Yes. CVS MinuteClinic accepts most major health insurance plans including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, and Medicaid (plan availability varies by state). MinuteClinic also offers cash-pay pricing for uninsured patients - typical visits run $99 to $179 cash. Confirm coverage with your insurance plan and your local clinic before the visit.
Is CVS MinuteClinic cheaper than urgent care?
Often yes. MinuteClinic visits typically cost $99 to $179 cash for routine sick visits and screenings, vs $150 to $300 for traditional urgent care centers. With insurance, MinuteClinic copays are often equal to or lower than primary care copays since MinuteClinic falls under the in-network primary care benefit at most plans. For severe symptoms, urgent care or ER is more appropriate.
