What Kind of Virtual Care Can I Get Through MinuteClinic®?

If you’re looking for a convenient way to address health issues without having to go into a clinic, you can turn to MinuteClinic Virtual Care™. Many of the same services that you can access through our in-store clinics are available online through our telehealth offering. Our board-certified MinuteClinic Virtual Care providers also offer the same level of professional care as any of our clinic providers, with the added convenience of being available seven days a week, including holidays, to address any health concerns you may have.

What Virtual Care services are available at MinuteClinic?

Besides in-person visits, MinuteClinic offers virtual care services via telehealth technology to help you save time and offer you a more convenient way to access your care.

Telehealth, or Virtual Care, allows you to communicate with a health care provider via video call. Our providers can write prescriptions when medically appropriate and help you develop a treatment plan online from wherever you are.

Anyone who has a video-enabled smartphone, tablet or computer and a stable internet connection can take advantage of our virtual care services.

MinuteClinic Virtual Care providers can treat common illnesses, such as infections, digestive problems and the flu. They can also help you manage chronic conditions or screen you for allergies and high blood pressure.

Virtual Care also allows you to discuss mental health concerns with a licensed therapist in select states. Your therapist can help you manage various conditions, including anxiety, depression and chronic stress.

During your telehealth visit, a MinuteClinic practitioner can explore your treatment options with you and recommend an effective plan. Our virtual care providers can also suggest over-the-counter medications and issue prescriptions as needed.

How is Virtual Care different from in-person care at MinuteClinic?

Our telehealth services offer a convenient alternative to in-person care. The advantages of accessing MinuteClinic Virtual Care™ include:

Convenience

MinuteClinic offers telehealth services seven days a week including during holidays. That means you can get the care you need outside of usual office hours to fit around your busy work or family schedule.

Access from anywhere

Virtual Care allows you to access high-quality general health services from anywhere. Telehealth visits can be handy if you require health care or need prescription medication refills while you are away from home.

Quality service

Whether you're experiencing a common illness or need support with your mental well-being, MinuteClinic's health practitioners have the knowledge and experience to provide quality care and treatment. When starting a telehealth visit you can provide information about yourself, your reason for visiting to help MinuteClinic match you with the most appropriate health care provider.

Translation services

At MinuteClinic, we understand that communicating freely with your health care provider is essential for getting the best care. MinuteClinic can provide translations in 41 languages to help you get the most out of your telehealth appointment.

How can MinuteClinic Virtual Care™ help me save money?

Everyone deserves access to high-quality, affordable health care, which is why MinuteClinic offers a transparent pricing structure and charges affordable rates for its telehealth services. MinuteClinic also accepts certain health insurance plans — you could pay less than our standard prices if you have a qualifying policy.

How does MinuteClinic Virtual Care™ protect my health information?

We understand the importance of keeping your health information confidential. MinuteClinic utilizes various safeguards to keep your data secure and will only disclose or use your information in the limited circumstances outlined in our privacy policy.

What kind of provider can I see with MinuteClinic Virtual Care™?

Many people find it challenging to get an appointment with their primary care physician. With virtual care, you can schedule a telehealth visit at a time and date that works best for you. That means you’ll get convenient access to our professional nurse practitioners, physician associates and therapists. Through MinuteClinic Virtual Care™, our providers will be available to help you with your health needs seven days a week and even on holidays.
