UR Medicine is now offering Virtual Urgent Care expanding access to care as part of the Get Care Now program.

Virtual Urgent Care offers real-time video connections with UR Medicine providers to get telemedicine care for common medical conditions and minor illnesses, like colds, coughs, headaches, infections, rashes, and more, when someone is unable to see their Primary Care provider.

When someone is feeling ill, Virtual Urgent Care can offer fast and immediate care in the comfort of their own home. It is convenient because Virtual Visits may eliminate a trip to Urgent Care sites or hospital Emergency Departments.

Virtual Urgent Care is available every day to all New Yorkers over 18 on a first-come, first-served basis. Hours are from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The visit is simple to initiate, with easy-to-follow instructions and estimated wait times.

UR Medicine caregiver teams will evaluate a patient鈥檚 symptoms, discuss treatment and, if needed, send prescriptions to a patient鈥檚 pharmacy of choice. Video Visits are billed through health insurance or a $90 fee will be charged, based on patient preference.

This virtual care model has received high marks from early users. 鈥淲e鈥檙e thrilled with the feedback from patients who say they are enjoying the convenience of high-quality virtual care, and also from our team, who has worked diligently to develop this care model and have been gratified at the positive response,鈥� said John Clark, chief administrative officer for UR Medicine Primary Care.

UR Medicine recently launched the Get Care Now program to help patients get the right care right now, whether it鈥檚 primary care, telemedicine services, Urgent Care sites, or emergency care.

It provides an extensive symptom guide with a grid outlining the type of care available for each illness or injury, including up-to-the-minute at our 13 Urgent Care locations in Monroe County and the Finger Lakes region. It also reinforces that hospital Emergency Departments should only be used for life- or limb-threatening care.
