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.

For some minor illnesses and injuries, UI QuickCare 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 QuickCare locations—now available from the comfort and privacy of your home.

Consider a UI QuickCare video visit for these minor symptoms and health issues:

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