Your Doctor
Your doctor can help when you need regular checkups or minor sickness.
Examples: Fever, colds and flu

Examples: Headaches, dizziness or what to do if your child is sick
Virtual Visits
Virtual visits connect you with a doctor for live, non-emergency medical or behavioral health help by phone, online video or mobile app.3
Examples: Allergies, depression or pink eye
Retail Clinic
If your doctor isn't available and you want to get walk-in, non-emergency care for common symptoms, you can visit a retail clinic.4
Examples: Minor injuries, pain or sore throat
Urgent Care
When you visit an urgent care, you can get quick medical attention when your life or health isn't at risk.
Examples: Cuts that need stitches, sprains or animal bites
Emergency Room (ER)
Emergency rooms should be visited for emergency care if your life or health is at risk.
Examples: Heart attack, heavy bleeding or broken bones
