Get started with an e-visit
When life is busy, our e-visits offer you an easy solution to get 24/7 care from just about anywhere. They’re also quick – once Symptom Checker determines you’re eligible for an e-visit, answer a few questions and you’ll receive a diagnosis and care plan from the next available virtual care provider 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.
E-visits are for minor illnesses like cold symptoms and back pain. And if you need antibiotics for an infection such as a urinary tract infection (UTI), an e-visit is an alternative to visiting urgent care or your primary care provider.
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.
