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
- May be able to offer you a virtual care (telehealth) visit
Virtual visits are a great way to stay connected to your doctor without leaving your home.
A virtual doctor visit may be appropriate for:
- Allergies
- Bug bites
- Bumps, cuts, and scrapes
- Cold sores
- Cough, sore throat, congestion
- Ear pain
- Flu
- Gout
- Minor headaches, sprains, strains
- Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
- Pink eye
- Sinus infection
- Strep throat
- Urinary burning
Ask your doctor if he or she offers virtual visits.
