Frequently asked questions

  • Who can be seen with a virtual urgent care visit?

    Anyone 2 years and older who is in Texas and meets the qualifications for conditions treated can schedule a virtual urgent care visit.

  • How much is a virtual urgent care visit?

    Your virtual urgent care video visit will be billed as a standard visit to your insurance, so the cost will depend on your coverage. There is no increase in price for evening or weekend visits. eVisits are $40, paid at the time of service if not covered by your insurance.

  • Does insurance cover virtual urgent care visits?

    Your virtual visit may be covered by insurance. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to confirm coverage.

  • Can I be out of the state of Texas to receive virtual care?

    No, you can only use virtual urgent care if you are in Texas.

  • What if I need follow-up care?

    If your provider thinks you need follow-up care, they will let you know. Depending on your health issue, your provider may recommend scheduling an in-person visit instead of a virtual visit. In those cases, when care is not provided, you will not be charged for your virtual visit.

  • Can I get a prescription if needed?

    Yes, you can get a prescription if needed. During a video visit, if your provider feels you need a prescription, they will send it to the pharmacy of your choice.

    For an eVisit, if your treatment plan includes a prescription, the prescriptions are not sent automatically to allow you to review your treatment plan first. You will need to click to choose a pharmacy and send your prescription.

  • Can I cancel or reschedule my virtual urgent care appointment?

    Yes, you can cancel or reschedule your appointment if you are unable to make your original time. If you can no longer make an appointment, we ask that you cancel the appointment with as much notice as possible.

  • Do you have interpreter services?

    Interpreter services are available for virtual urgent care video visits. However, we do not currently offer eVisit questionnaires in languages other than English.
