What is telemedicine?
Virtual care (also called telemedicine) is a safe, convenient way to get care for non-emergency health concerns without visiting a clinic. You’ll speak with a provider by video, get a diagnosis, and receive treatment recommendations or prescriptions, if needed.
Virtual visits are typically:
- Staffed by providers from local urgent care centers
- Usually open during the same hours as the in-person clinic
- Covered by most insurance plans
- Available for cash pay, HSA, and FSA
- Booked same-day through Solv
When to use telemedicine
Virtual urgent care is best for non-emergency concerns when:
- You want care without leaving home
- You’re sick outside of clinic hours
- You’re traveling or in a rural area
- You need a quick prescription or follow-up
If you’re experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, or any emergency symptoms, call 911 or go to the ER immediately.
