Today's topic isn't the most exciting one but is terrific information to know! If you need medical care you may wonder where to go? Below is a helpful chart from Wellcare, the insurance company, to explain your options:

Your Primary Care Provider (PCP)
... Your personal doctor ... is your first stop for getting care. Call your doctor if you aren't feeling well or need a regular check-up.
Telehealth or Virtual Care
Telehealth allows you to talk to a doctor over the phone or by video. You can get medical advice, a diagnosis, or a prescription from wherever you are.
... call the Nurse Advice Line if you have a health question or need advice when you're sick. The nurse will help you decide if you should go to the doctor, take medication, or visit an urgent care or emergency room. ...
Urgent Care Center
Urgent care is usually a great option if your illness or injury isn't life-threatening. Urgent care centers can help with injuries like sprains and strains, small cuts, cold and flu symptoms, and more. In-network urgent care centers offer quality care and often have lower costs and faster service than the emergency room.

follow-up visits, and a friend with a viral infection got a prescription for antibiotics. She bypassed a long wait time for an appointment and a huge co-pay by visiting an Urgent Care Center.
Urgent care centers are awesome for swift exams and treatment in non-emergencies. Excellent to receive a diagnosis, x-rays, vaccines, or remedies not requiring ambulances and hospitalizations. But as I discovered in taking my mom, they're good for the latter too. Luckily, I was able to push her to the hospital in her wheelchair, and I love ♥Manhattan♥ for how consolidated everything is!🦽
