Convenient virtual care from just about anywhere

If you need care that works for your busy schedule, our e-visits offer a quick and easy solution. First, use Symptom Checker to see if you’re eligible for an e-visit based on your symptoms. After choosing an e-visit, you’ll answer a few questions online and receive a LiveWell message from the next available virtual care provider. They’ll respond with a diagnosis and care plan within one hour. If you prefer, you can submit your e-visit to your own primary care provider, who will respond within 24 hours instead.

Available 24/7 through Symptom Checker, e-visits are for minor illnesses like cold symptoms, back pain and urinary infections. E-visits are also an alternative to visiting urgent care or your primary care provider.

Your first step? Symptom Checker.

To see if an e-visit is right for you, use Symptom Checker to find care based on your symptoms. We’ll recommend the right type of care, which may include a virtual visit.

Virtual visits like e-visits and Quick Care Video Visits are the quickest, most convenient way to get 24/7 care for minor illness and injury. And if your symptoms require an in-person visit, Symptom Checker will recommend an appointment with your own provider or can help you find local urgent care near you.
