Where to get care

For most issues, your primary care physician (PCP):

• Can give you the care you need
• Can visit with you when you’re well and when you’re sick
• May offer virtual care (telehealth) visits

Talk to your PCP about the office’s virtual care options.

During a virtual care (telehealth) visit, you can connect with your doctor without leaving your home.

A virtual care visit may be appropriate for:

• Allergies
• Bug bites
• Bumps, cuts, scrapes
• Cold sores
• Cough, sore throat, congestion
• Ear pain
• Flu symptoms
• Gout
• Minor headaches, sprains, strains
• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
• Pink eye
• Sinus infection
• Strep throat
• Urinary burning

Available telehealth services vary by state. Learn about virtual care options in your state by:

• Selecting your state from the drop-down menu
• Navigating to your state’s virtual care webpage
