What are online urgent care services?

Urgent care can mean different things to patients and doctors, and it’s important to understand what SkyMD offers. SkyMD does not offer or cover services for true medical emergencies, where a patient would call 9-1-1 or go to a hospital, or a local Urgent Care Center. That level of emergency or urgency is for services needed during a medical emergency. Telehealth cannot support such services due to the remote location of the doctor to the patient. SkyMD offers primary care services, including family practice medicine, and for patients that feel they need to see a doctor same-day, in an outpatient setting, and they feel it’s of an urgent nature (but not an emergency), we offer same day appointments in most US States, every day. A SkyMD doctor can see you and evaluate you and in most cases send in a prescription to your local pharmacy the same day, such as antibiotics for cold and flu symptoms.

Can I make an urgent care appointment online?

Yes, you can make an urgent care appointment online with SkyMD. SkyMD's online services for urgent care are easy to use, affordable, and easily accessible. This makes it easier to get timely medical attention for your healthcare needs. Our doctors’ appointment schedules are available for patients to see and select a time that is convenient with them.

What kinds of medical conditions can be treated through online urgent care consultations?

Online urgent care consultations can address various non-emergency medical issues such as diabetes, depression and influenza, ADHD, asthma, anxiety, cold and flu symptoms, skin issues, and more.

I don’t have health insurance. Can I still use virtual urgent care services?

You can still use SkyMD for virtual urgent care appointments even though you don't currently have health insurance. You will have to pay out-of-pocket for the consultation, but SkyMD’s prices are affordable to see a board certified doctor with such short notice.

Can patients and doctors use telehealth for urgent care medical concerns?

Yes, many online urgent care providers can offer telemedicine consultations. SkyMD is an online urgent care service that offers telemedicine consultations with licensed doctors. Telemedicine consultations allow patients to speak in real-time with a healthcare provider via video or audio calls and receive a diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and prescriptions if needed.

How do I schedule an appointment with an online urgent care doctor?

You must create an account on the SkyMD patient portal or Android app or iOS app to schedule an appointment with an urgent care doctor online. After creating an account, you can select a doctor and a specific appointment date and time that works with your schedule.

Are online urgent care doctors licensed and qualified to provide medical care?

Yes, SkyMD’s online urgent care doctors are licensed and qualified to provide medical care. SkyMD online urgent care services typically employ board-certified physicians and licensed healthcare professionals qualified to provide medical care and treatment recommendations via telemedicine.

Can I get a prescription from an online urgent care doctor?

Yes, you can get a prescription from a virtual urgent care doctor through SkyMD telemedicine services. However, the ability for a doctor to prescribe medication may vary depending on the US State where you live, as well as the healthcare provider's license. The healthcare provider will determine if a prescription is necessary based on their evaluation of your symptoms and medical history.

How long will it take to see an online urgent care doctor?

If you schedule an appointment with SkyMD for an urgent care video appointment, your wait time will typically depend on how many patients are scheduled ahead of you. Providers may have different availability depending on their schedules, so it's always a good idea to ask about their wait times when scheduling an appointment. However, SkyMD strives to offer quick access to healthcare providers through its virtual urgent care service.

Are online urgent care visits confidential?

Yes, SkyMD online urgent care visits are confidential video calls. We do not record medical visits with patients, and all data we collect from our patients is protected under HIPAA and confidential. A patient can ask us to forward a copy of their medical records to a different physician, if needed.

Can I get a follow-up appointment with an online urgent care doctor?

Yes, once a patient is established with our medical practice, we consider them under our care for any new medical reasons that may occur. You can schedule a follow-up appointment through the SkyMD Android app or patient portal or iOS app and connect with the same provider if they are available.

Can I access my medical records through online urgent care?

Yes, a SkyMD patient can access their medical records through their secure SkyMD online patient portal anytime 24x7. This can be a convenient way to keep your medical data up-to-date, review your medical history with a healthcare provider and help ensure that your care is tailored to your unique needs and medical history.

What insurance plans does online urgent care accept?

SkyMD urgent care accepts most major health insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross, Blue shield and more. However, patients are encouraged to check on the SkyMD website to confirm if their specific health plan is accepted by SkyMD, or call our support center at 1-858-900-2766.

Is there a limit to how many times I can use online urgent care?

Generally, no. Each medical visit, whether via video or not, is billed as a separate encounter. Otherwise, for follow up questions related to a visit that just occurred, most SkyMD providers encourage the patient to submit questions through the secure online portal, assuming the questions pertain to the same medical conditions discussed during the prior visit. For all new medical issues, a new visit is required.

How much will an urgent care visit cost?

SkyMD offers virtual urgent care visits for a cash price of $79 for a typical 15-20 minute video appointment with one of our doctors. If you have health insurance, the cost of your virtual urgent care visit will vary based on your health plan and coverage. Additionally, it's recommended to check with SkyMD directly to get an accurate estimate of the cost of your visit based on your individual insurance plan’s coverage.

How can I find a female online urgent care consultation doctor?

To find a female online urgent care doctor consultation, you can use SkyMD's platform and choose to search for a female urgent care physician when booking an appointment. SkyMD offers the option to select the gender of the doctor you prefer to see, so you can easily find a female urgent care through their platform.
