A normal doctor visit also means leaving home. Plus, waiting in a waiting room where you and your child may be exposed to sick people. Telehealth services gives your child access to anytime, anywhere care.
ER visits should only be used for life-threatening injury or health issues. When you go to the ER for non-emergency issues, you take away care from those who need it more. For more on where to go for care, visit our Accessing Care page.
