TeleMeMD, Urgent Care, or the ER? Choosing the right door matters.
Healthcare works best when patients enter the system at the right level of care. That’s where TeleMeMD changes the equation.
Use TeleMeMD for non-emergent concerns that benefit from rapid access and continuity. This includes acute illnesses (sinus infections, UTIs, rashes, coughs), medication refills, follow-ups, lab review, sleep concerns, and chronic condition management. Unlike traditional telehealth, TeleMeMD can also provide in-person care when needed, including point-of-care testing and select suture repairs, helping patients avoid unnecessary urgent care or ER visits.
Use Urgent Care when a hands-on exam or broader testing is required but the situation is not life-threatening. Minor fractures or sprains, larger lacerations, persistent vomiting, moderate asthma exacerbations, or infections requiring imaging or expanded diagnostics fit best here.
Use Emergency Care for true emergencies where minutes matter—chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe shortness of breath, uncontrolled bleeding, major trauma, altered mental status, or severe allergic reactions.
TeleMeMD is the smart starting point. It combines virtual care, in-person services, and ongoing primary care to deliver appropriate treatment without delay or excess. When a higher level of care is truly needed, patients are directed to urgent care or emergency services thoughtfully and safely.
Right care.
Right place.
Right time.
