Urgent care

Common infections and symptoms, treated without the waiting room.

Short courses for flu, coughs and chest colds, and sore throats, reviewed by a licensed provider and shipped to you if prescribed. Anything that needs an exam, a test or emergency care is referred there instead.

Choose how to start

Taken it before? Go straight to the medications

Had this before and know what worked? Pick the symptom and a provider reviews it; if prescribed, it ships to you.

First time? Let a short quiz narrow it down

Not sure what this is? Describe your symptoms in a short quiz. A provider decides what, if anything, to prescribe, and says when to seek in-person care instead.

What a visit covers

  • Flu and flu-like illness
  • Coughs, chest colds and bronchitis
  • Sore throat and pharyngitis

Questions

How does the medication reach me?

If your provider prescribes, a licensed US pharmacy in our clinical partner's network ships it to you; shipping is included in the price. Medication is paid for only if prescribed: if nothing is, everything above the $32 consultation is refunded, and the $32 is not.

Can you treat a UTI, a sinus infection, pink eye or a rash?

Not right now. Those visits aren't available through us at the moment; a local clinic, an urgent care center or your own doctor can help. If symptoms are severe or getting worse, seek in-person care.

Is this an emergency service?

No. If you have chest pain, trouble breathing, a severe allergic reaction, a high fever that won't come down or any symptom that frightens you, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Online urgent care is for the common, well-understood problems a provider can assess from your answers.

Will I definitely get antibiotics?

No. Many sore throats, sinus and chest infections are viral; antibiotics don't treat them and add side effects and resistance. Your provider prescribes what fits your symptoms, or says so if the answer is rest, fluids and time. In that case everything above the $32 consultation is refunded — medication is charged only if prescribed; the $32 is not refunded.

Is urgent care available in every state?

Not in California or South Carolina. None of the urgent-care treatments we list can be bought there, so urgent care isn't available in those states. Where we operate lists every state we serve and every medication's exceptions.

Where we operate

Prices are if prescribed. If nothing is prescribed, the medication portion is refunded; the $32 consultation is not.
