What Is Urgent Care?

Virtual Urgent Care Visits

With an internet-connected device, you can have a medical consultation with a U of U Health care provider from the comfort of your own home. Patients of any age can start a virtual urgent care visit for a range of non-life-threatening conditions.

Sickness doesn’t always happen between 8-5. We’re open all day—plus weekends and evenings—when you need care right away for an illness or injury that isn’t life-threatening.

What Does Urgent Care Treat?

    • Flu and fever
    • Earaches
    • Nausea
    • Rashes and allergic reactions
    • Animal and insect bites
    • Sprains and minor bone fractures
    • Minor cuts that need stitches
    • Urinary tract/bladder infections

Insurance Coverage

Most insurance plans typically bill urgent care visits like a regular primary care visit.
