Covenant Health Virtual Care Provides 24/7 Urgent Care via Telehealth Visits

Have you ever wondered where to go when you need immediate healthcare – urgent care, wait for the next appointment with your primary care, or just go to the nearest emergency room? Now you can access emergency medicine physicians with a few clicks and start a virtual visit instantly. These healthcare professionals can also advise if in-person care is needed.

Covenant Health has launched virtual urgent care services to provide patients with access to care from emergency medicine-trained clinicians via telehealth visits. Covenant Health Virtual Care is available anywhere in East Tennessee 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Covenant Health Virtual Care makes prompt medical care more accessible for patients. Virtual urgent care is available for all ages to treat conditions such as coughs, colds, allergies, stomach problems, rashes, and other urgent care-related symptoms.

This service is unique because emergency medicine-trained clinicians provide patient care. Virtual urgent care visits occur via the patient’s computer or smartphone and generally take less than an hour. The clinician can provide a diagnosis and treatment plan for most non-emergent illnesses and injuries at a cost that is usually less than a medical office visit for a flat rate of $65 per visit.
