UCC also has X-rays, blood tests, heart beat measurements, etc. They are also small surgeries. So it is not just a General Practitioner and hence it is not a physician clinic.

I have been to one and thankfully it was covered by my work insurance. Cost me almost $200 for a short consultation as I was worried about an incessant cough that did not clear up after a flu.

Now how many patients are required to make a daily profit with that kind of costs? And $200 is really a small sum these days if one reads articles on the very high cost of medical care.

The markup on medication is very high. A UCC is just a small medical centre.
