Urgent care from the comfort of home

CareNow Las Vegas launches Virtual Care for telehealth urgent care visits

CareNow has launched Virtual Care, a telehealth urgent care service. Virtual urgent care visits allow patients to see and talk to a provider from a mobile device or computer. Patients can visit a trusted healthcare professional from the comfort of home or the office.

Patients start the process by going to CareNow.com during urgent care clinic hours and checking in for Virtual Care - much as they use Web Check-In^® for in-clinic visits. The clinic staff then sends a link via text message that the patient uses to access the fully interactive virtual visit with a CareNow provider.

CareNow's telehealth service offers patients access to one-on-one care from one of our exceptional physicians, nurse practitioners or physician assistants through a secure and HIPAA-compliant internet video connection. Through a virtual visit providers can evaluate many minor conditions and even prescribe non-narcotic medications when indicated.

While many minor conditions can be treated with CareNow's new telehealth services, there may be times when a more thorough examination is required or tests need to be performed such as COVID-19 testing which is available at all three San Jose locations. When this is needed, we simply convert your visit to an in-clinic visit and we will be waiting for you when you arrive. It's really that easy. More information regarding all CareNow services and locations can be found on CareNow's San Jose page.

"Virtual Care is an extension of our clinical urgent care services and fully supports our purpose to help people return to what they value in their lives, in an even more convenient way. We are proud to provide an easy solution for our patients' healthcare needs at their fingertips," says Lamont Tyler, DO Market Medical Director for CareNow.

Patients experiencing a medical emergency should always call 911.
