Virtual care is just a few questions away
When you or your child isn't feeling well, e-visits can get you a quick diagnosis, 24/7. For minor illnesses like back pain, cold symptoms and urinary infections, an e-visit can be a convenient, cost-effective alternative to visiting a clinic or urgent care.
If you’re eligible for an e-visit, you'll fill out a questionnaire about your symptoms and a telemedicine provider will evaluate your condition and share a treatment plan – all by messaging you in LiveWell within an hour. If you prefer, you can submit your e-visit to your own primary care provider, who will respond within 24 hours instead.
Your first step? Symptom Checker.
To see if an e-visit is right for you, use Symptom Checker to find care based on your symptoms. We’ll recommend the right type of care, which may include a virtual visit.
Virtual visits like e-visits and Quick Care Video Visits are the quickest, most convenient way to get 24/7 care for minor illness and injury. And if your symptoms require an in-person visit, Symptom Checker will recommend an appointment with your own provider or can help you find local urgent care near you.
