Where to Go for Care
You never want to pay more than you have to for the things you need. The same is true for healthcare. The emergency room (ER) is the right place to go in a real emergency, but that’s not always the level of care you need. For everything else, you’ll save time and money by exploring your options — including Virtual Visits, where you can see and talk to a doctor online, anytime.
| Care Options | Average Cost | What is it? | When to use? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Care Provider | Varies by plan | Care from the doctor who knows your best. | Routine check-ups, immunizations, preventive services, condition management, non-urgent medical issues. |
| Virtual Visits | Less than $49 | See a doctor, whenever, wherever. | Allergies, coughs or colds, pinkeye, rashes, sinus problems, and stomaches. |
| Convenience Care Clinic | $100 | Basic conditions that are not life-threatening. | Fevers, sore throats, earaches, coughs, congestion, and minor cuts. |
| Urgent Care Center | $185 | Serious conditions that are not life-threatening. | Severe vomiting or fevers, cuts or burns, sprains and strains, non-emergency illness or injuries. |
| Emergency Room | $2,700 | Life- and limb-threatening emergencies. | Possible heart attack or stroke, uncontrollable bleeding, major burns, broken bones or fractures, severe allergic reactions, and difficulty breathing. |
