Virtual care lets you talk with a health care provider by phone or video, instead of going to a doctor’s office. It’s convenient, reduces exposure to others when contagious, and can provide effective care (including prescriptions sent to your pharmacy) for many non-urgent health concerns.
What kinds of common issues are appropriate for virtual care?
■ Cold, flu, and allergy symptoms
■ Muscle strains and joint sprains
■ Digestive concerns, like vomiting or diarrhea
■ Urinary tract infections
■ Rashes or skin irritations
■ Eye infections
■ Behavioral health: anxiety, stress, or depression
