When Is Virtual Urgent Care a Good Option?
Virtual urgent care is designed for minor illnesses and common symptoms that can often be evaluated through a video visit. During your appointment, your provider will review your symptoms, medical history, and any concerns that may require additional testing or in-person care.
Respiratory and Allergy Symptoms
Virtual urgent care may help with:
Skin and Eye Concerns
Online urgent care may also be appropriate for certain mild skin and eye symptoms, including:
- Mild rashes
- Skin irritation
- Insect bites
- Pink eye, also called conjunctivitis
Urinary and Digestive Symptoms
A virtual provider may be able to evaluate common urinary or digestive symptoms such as:
- Urinary tract infection symptoms

Other Minor Health Concerns

- Medication management/refills

When Should You Go to the Emergency Room Instead?
Virtual urgent care is not appropriate for severe, sudden, or life-threatening symptoms. Some conditions require immediate in-person emergency care.
Call 911 or seek emergency care for symptoms such as:
- Chest pain or pressure
- Severe difficulty breathing
- Signs of stroke, such as sudden weakness, facial drooping, or difficulty speaking
- Severe allergic reactions
- Heavy or uncontrolled bleeding
- Loss of consciousness

Virtual Urgent Care vs. Primary Care
Virtual urgent care and primary care both play important roles in your health, but they serve different purposes.
Virtual urgent care is a convenient option for minor illnesses that need prompt attention, while primary care is best for preventive care, annual wellness visits, chronic disease management, and long-term health planning.
