What is a virtual visit? It may be a term you’re hearing more often. That’s because the use of virtual visits, also known as telehealth, has expanded recently, offering people more ways to connect with a health care provider from home or work. During a virtual visit, you use your smartphone, tablet or computer, to talk with a provider. You can get treatment options and even prescriptions for medications, if needed.

At an Urgent Care you can get stitches, set broken bones, get care for your respiratory infections, treat back/knee/hip pain. It is good to plan ahead and know the closest Urgent Cares near you. You can find an Urgent Care on myuhc.com. These same-day clinics may be a good choice when you have an illness or injury you’d normally just see your doctor for, but you can’t get an appointment and it can’t wait.
