Quick Care video visits: care and convenience at home

For some minor health issues, an in-person trip to a Quick Care location may not be necessary.

A telehealth video visit is an easy and convenient way to meet with a UI Health Care provider to explain your injury or illness, describe your symptoms, receive a diagnosis, discuss treatment options, and get a medication prescription.

When to consider a Quick Care video visit

For some minor illnesses and injuries, Quick Care video visits are available through MyChart on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

It’s the same personalized care and expertise you receive at any of our UI Quick Care locations—now available from the comfort and privacy of your home.

Consider a Quick Care video visit for these minor symptoms and health issues:

Allergies
Burns
Colds
Constipation
Cough
COVID-19
Diaper rash (pediatric only)
Diarrhea
Eye irritation or vision problems
Fever

If further tests are required following your telehealth appointment, an in-person clinic visit may be recommended by your telehealth provider.

Use MyChart to schedule your Quick Care video visit or create a MyChart account. It’s quick, easy, and convenient.

Is this a scheduled appointment?

No. While you’re able to hold your spot online in the wait queue, this is not a scheduled appointment. The actual time you are seen will depend on several factors, including the number of patients already being treated in the clinic and the variety of their illnesses. We are required to see the sickest patients first, which can also affect your wait time.
