• Primary Care vs. Urgent Care vs. Emergency Room

  When you or a loved one is feeling less than your best, it’s often unexpected. If you believe your condition or injury to be life-threatening, you should visit the nearest emergency room or call 911. If your situation is not an emergency, but you need help outside of business hours, or you can’t get an appointment with your primary care provider, you should try an urgent care clinic or an AnMed Health E-Visit. In the event that your condition or situation is mild or related to a chronic illness (so long as the issue is not critical), it may be wisest to visit your primary care physician.

• AnMed Health E-Visits

  You awake to a stuffy head, pressure behind your cheekbones and that annoying post-nasal drip. Or, after doing yard work or taking a hike through the woods, you notice a patch of raised bumps and blisters on your arm. Important deadlines are looming at work and your kids have to go to basketball practice. Plus, the last thing you want to do is to sit in a waiting room full of people who are coughing, sneezing and contagious. Good news. Thanks to AnMed Health’s E-Visits, a consultation with a health care provider for minor health concerns no longer requires a trip to the doctor’s office or urgent care.
