See a Provider Online Using Connect Care
Have a sore throat and don’t feel like driving to the doctor or sitting in a waiting room? Access convenient, high-quality care right from the comfort of your own home.
It's 3 a.m. and your child is crying and sick, what do you do? You don't want to go to the emergency room since that's expensive and you don't have an emergency, and did we mention it's the middle of the night?
Nowadays, you have 24/7 care options with Intermountain Connect Care®. So, don't go anywhere, grab your smart phone, tablet, or computer and literally connect to care. Web-based video apps, like Connect Care, make it easy to talk to a clinician about your nonemergency issue whenever and wherever.
Connect Care makes it easy to speak to a provider within minutes. They can even prescribe certain medications and will call it in to your preferred pharmacy. Connect Care is covered by most Select Health plans. That’s worth the cost for staying in your jammies and keeping your germs to yourself.
In some situations, the provider might think that you need to be seen in person (i.e., if you need a physical exam or medical testing). If that happens, you won’t be charged for the visit—but you’ll have to pull yourself together and go to a clinic.
