Louisiana Medicaid: Where to get care
We know you can get sick or hurt without warning. Your doctor can see you when you’re sick and when you’re well.
When your doctor is available
For most issues, your primary care provider (PCP):
- Can give you the care you need
- Can see you when you’re well and when you’re sick
When your doctor is not available
Go to a retail clinic or urgent care center
Retail clinics like CVS® and urgent care centers are:
- Convenient – Most open early, close late, and have weekend hours
- Quick – No appointment needed
- Staffed by trained professionals – Get treatment for a range of issues, including urgent flu-like symptoms, moderate stomach pain, small cuts, minor injuries, ongoing diarrhea, and wheezing
