Choose Affordable Care Options
Knowing where to go for care when you’re sick or hurt can help you save. Your first choice for a minor health issue should be a visit with your in-network primary care provider. Or schedule a Telehealth call.
Choose an in-network urgent care center for a sprain instead of the emergency room. Only visit the emergency room if you have a life-threatening injury or illness, such as severe bleeding or chest pain.
