Yes. A flashing light usually signals an active misfire that can damage the catalytic converter if you keep driving, so it is worth getting looked at quickly. A solid light still deserves attention but is rarely an emergency the same day.
Why does a diagnostic cost money if it is just a code reader?
A code points to a system, not always the exact failed part. A real diagnosis includes follow-up testing to confirm the cause before any part gets replaced, which is what the fee actually covers. That step is what keeps a shop from guessing at parts on your dime.
