Care Anywhere video visits: Urgent care 24/7

Urgent care video visits give you easy, quick access to care so you can see a medical provider without leaving the comfort of your home. No appointment needed. You must be in the state of Wisconsin at the time of your visit.

Overview

What are video visits?

When you need quick access to a medical provider, UW Health Care Anywhere urgent care video visits might be an option.

Video visits are done from your home using your computer, tablet or smartphone and do not require an appointment.

Some conditions cannot be addressed using a video visit. Patients who are experiencing an emergency or infants under 3 months of age should receive care in-person.

Note: You must physically be in the state of Wisconsin at the time of your video visit.

Consider using a video visit if you are experiencing:

  • Cold/flu symptoms

  • Cough

  • Fever

  • Stuffy/runny nose

  • Sore throat

  • Allergies

  • Abdominal pain

  • Painful/difficult urination

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Low back pain

  • Diarrhea

  • Eye infections

  • Joint pain

  • Sprains

  • Headache

How it works

UW Health partners with Amwell Medical Group to provide you with 24/7 urgent care coverage.

Depending on the time that you use Care Anywhere, you could see a UW Health provider or an Amwell provider. UW Health providers can be identified by the UW Health logo that is visible on their profile photo.

When you use Care Anywhere between the hours of 8 a.m.–9 p.m. Monday–Friday and 8 a.m.–6 p.m. Saturday–Sunday, the service is typically staffed by UW Health providers.

Outside of those hours, the service is staffed by Amwell physicians. You will still receive the same excellent care you expect from UW Health regardless of when you use the tool. However, there could be some differences in billing, including:

  • Insured patients: Claims will be submitted to the insurance company and co-pays/deductibles/co-insurance will be billed to the patient as determined by the payer. Financial assistance is available to patients who qualify.

  • Uninsured/self-pay patients: Maximum out-of-pocket cost will be $67. Financial assistance is available to patients who qualify.

  • Quartz patients: Claims will be submitted to the insurance company and co-pays/deductibles/co-insurance will be billed to the patient as determined by the payer.

  • All other patients: Pre-payment of $67 is required prior to the visit.
