At PrimeHealth Urgent Care, we prioritize your ongoing health and well-being, even after your initial visit with us. If your urgent care visit requires follow-up care, here’s how you can take a proactive approach to ensure you receive the necessary treatment and support:

1. Understand Follow-Up Instructions: Before leaving PrimeHealth, make sure you clearly understand any follow-up instructions provided by our medical provider. This may include scheduling appointments with your primary care physician or a specialist, undergoing additional tests, or starting a prescribed medication regimen. Don’t hesitate to ask our staff for clarification if anything is unclear.

2. Schedule Appointments Promptly: Once you have your follow-up plan, contact your primary care doctor or specialist as soon as possible to schedule necessary appointments.

3. Arrange for Additional Tests: If further tests or imaging are recommended, we can help you find a convenient facility for these procedures. Make sure all results are sent to both your primary care physician and any specialists involved in your care.

4. Adhere to Prescribed Treatments: Follow any treatment plans or medication regimens as directed. If you experience side effects or have any concerns, reach out to your healthcare provider immediately. Keep a detailed record of your symptoms and any changes in your condition to discuss during follow-up visits.

5. Maintain Open Communication: Effective communication is key to successful follow-up care. Keep all your healthcare providers informed about any changes in your condition, and ensure they have access to your medical records from PrimeHealth Urgent Care. Always feel free to seek clarification or express any concerns about your treatment plan.

6. Insurance and Costs: To avoid unexpected expenses, check with your insurance provider to understand coverage for follow-up visits and any associated costs.

By taking these steps, you can ensure that your follow-up care is both efficient and effective, supporting your recovery and overall health.

At PrimeHealth Urgent Care, we are committed to providing our patients with convenient and accessible healthcare solutions, which is why we are proud to offer virtual or telehealth urgent care visits as part of our comprehensive service offerings. These virtual consultations allow you to connect with our experienced healthcare providers from the comfort of your home, using video calls, phone calls, or online messaging platforms.

Our telehealth urgent care services are designed to address a wide range of non-life-threatening conditions, including colds, flu, minor infections, allergies, and minor injuries. Our skilled medical professionals can assess your symptoms, provide expert medical advice, prescribe necessary medications, and recommend follow-up care as needed. This service is ideal for patients looking to reduce wait times and access care outside of traditional office hours, accommodating busy schedules and mobility challenges.

While virtual visits offer tremendous convenience, we also recognize their limitations. Some conditions may require a physical examination or diagnostic tests that can only be performed in person. In such cases, our team will guide you on the next steps to ensure you receive the appropriate care.

We are dedicated to delivering high-quality medical care through innovative solutions like telehealth, ensuring that you have access to the healthcare you need, when you need it.

PrimeHealth Urgent Care is equipped to handle a wide range of pediatric emergencies such as minor fractures, sprains, lacerations requiring stitches, mild asthma attacks, ear infections, and fevers. We have on-site access to diagnostic tools like X-rays and laboratories, facilitating accurate and speedy diagnoses. Our staff is adept at providing necessary treatments, including wound care, splinting, and administering medications such as antibiotics or nebulizers for respiratory conditions.

Effective communication with parents is a cornerstone of our approach to pediatric emergencies. Our clinicians take the time to thoroughly explain your child’s condition, the proposed treatment plan, and any follow-up care that may be necessary. We also provide guidance on symptoms that would require a visit to an emergency department should the condition worsen.

In instances where a child’s condition exceeds the scope of our services—such as severe trauma, significant breathing difficulties, or signs of a potentially life-threatening issue—our team at PrimeHealth Urgent Care will stabilize and arrange for a seamless transfer to a hospital emergency department. This coordination ensures your child receives the appropriate level of care promptly.

PrimeHealth Urgent Care serves as a crucial bridge between primary care and hospital emergency services, offering timely and effective treatment for pediatric emergencies that require immediate attention but are not critical enough for an emergency room visit. Your child’s health and safety are our top priorities.

At PrimeHealth Urgent Care, we specialize in providing prompt medical attention for non-life-threatening conditions, ensuring you receive the care you need when time is of the essence. Our team is equipped to handle a variety of medical issues, such as minor fractures, sprains, and infections, which require immediate but not emergency-level attention.

However, there are times when a medical condition may exceed the capabilities of urgent care and necessitate more specialized or immediate treatment. In such cases, we are committed to guiding our patients towards the appropriate level of care. For conditions that require advanced diagnostic tools or specialized medical staff, such as severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, or major trauma, we will direct you to an emergency department (ED) at a hospital.

Emergency departments are equipped with a comprehensive range of medical resources, including emergency medicine physicians, surgeons, and other specialists trained to manage life-threatening and complex medical issues. If your condition requires such immediate attention, PrimeHealth Urgent Care will ensure you understand the importance of seeking emergency care and, if necessary, assist in coordinating your transfer to an ED.

Once at the emergency department, a triage nurse will evaluate your condition to prioritize your treatment according to the severity of your medical needs. This process helps ensure that you receive the necessary interventions, which may include diagnostic tests, medications, or surgery, with the goal of stabilizing your condition and addressing any underlying medical issues.

After your emergency care, you may be admitted for further treatment or discharged with instructions for follow-up care. We emphasize the importance of adhering to these instructions and attending any scheduled follow-up appointments to facilitate a full recovery and monitor your ongoing health.

At PrimeHealth Urgent Care, your health and well-being are our top priorities. We are dedicated to ensuring that you receive the appropriate level of care, whether within our facility or by directing you to the right resources when the situation demands it.
