The healthcare industry has always set a high price for health care here in the United States, and access to urgent care is particularly expensive here in Waikiki. At St. Luke's Clinic Waikiki, we understand this and strive to provide affordable health care for every patient. For travelers without overseas or out of state health insurance, our consultation fees are very modest and are set at one of the lowest prices in Waikiki. Furthermore, we will even provide you with the necessary documentation & receipt necessary for reimbursement from your insurance company once you return home. Although whether or not reimbursement is possible ultimately depends on the specific insurance plan of the patient, from our experience the vast majority of cases see some form of reimbursement after using our establishment. For information regarding whether or not we accept your particular health insurance, please feel free to give us a call, we will be happy to be of assistance.

Most medications can be obtained on the spot without going to a pharmacy.
Normally, when a doctor gives you a prescription, you have to go to a pharmacy and wait until your prescription is ready. However, at our walk in clinic, we provide the necessary medication on the spot, for your convenience. As an urgent care center we value the time and convenience factor of our patient experience. We carry a vast inventory of the most commonly prescribed medications, but please do note that some of the more unique medications may still require a prescription. Even if this were the case, our clinic is located about 5 minutes walking distance from CVS pharmacy.
