Sick Visits Q & A

What are sick visits?

At Emcura Immediate Care, sick visits focus on diagnosing and treating an illness, infection, or other health concern that requires prompt medical attention. Unlike a routine checkup, a sick visit addresses symptoms that have developed recently or are interfering with your daily activities.

When should I schedule a sick visit?

Consider scheduling a sick visit when you're feeling unwell, your symptoms aren't improving, or you're concerned about a new health issue.

When seeking care early at Emcura Immediate Care, the team can help identify the cause of your symptoms and may prevent the condition from becoming more serious.

What symptoms or illnesses can be evaluated during a sick visit?

Sick visits can be used to evaluate many conditions. An Emcura Immediate Care provider can assess your condition and recommend appropriate treatment.

What can I expect during a sick visit appointment?

This may include diagnostic testing, such as:

Rapid strep testing

Other evaluations when appropriate

Once your provider has gathered the necessary information, they’ll discuss your diagnosis and treatment options with you.
