Urgent Care Video Visits

Urgent care services at The University of Kansas Health System provide direct access to care you know and trust. In addition to in-person visits at our urgent care locations, we offer urgent care video visits to provide you quick care and flexibility.

Urgent care video visits are a type of telehealth appointment offered by The University of Kansas Health System. Video visits offer 2-way live communication between you and an urgent care provider. These video visits allow you to be seen quickly for most urgent, nonemergency needs. You can connect to these visits by computer, tablet or mobile phone using the MyChart and Zoom apps.

To use urgent care video visits, the patient must be 6 months or older and in Kansas or Missouri at the time of consultation. You do not need to be an established patient at The University of Kansas Health System to use urgent care video visits.

Patients can seek urgent care for nonemergency needs when your primary care provider is not immediately available. Many urgent conditions qualify for video visits, including:

• Abrasions
• Acne
• Asthma
• Athlete’s foot
• Back pain
• Cold and flu
• Constipation
• Cough
• COVID-19 concerns
• Diarrhea
• Dry skin/eczema
• Eye irritation
• Fatigue
• Fever
• Headache
• Heartburn
• Insect bites
• Nausea
• Pain in hands and/or feet
• Pink eye
• Poison ivy
• Possible fracture
• Rash
• Respiratory symptoms
• Seasonal allergies
• Sinus
• Sore throat
• Stuffy nose
• Styes
• Urinary tract infection
• Vaginal discharge/irritation

These conditions require in-person urgent care and do not qualify for video visits:

• Breathing difficulty
• Broken bones
• Chest pain
• Head injuries
• Laboratory tests
• Medications, prescriptions or refills
• Return-to-work or FMLA paperwork

Additionally, issues like bleeding, fevers in babies 3 months old or younger, loss of consciousness, emergent pregnancy issues, seizures, severe allergic reactions, severe pain and throwing up or coughing up blood are serious symptoms that require emergency services. If you have any of these, go to the nearest ER.
