On-Demand Video Visits

How it works

Video visits are fast, easy and convenient.

• Check in for a video visit and get a notification within 20 minutes that a provider is ready to connect or select a same-day appointment time. 
• Chat one-on-one with a live RUSH provider. If you need prescriptions, they’ll be sent to your pharmacy of choice.

Video visits are available to adults and to children older than 3 months. New and existing patients are accepted. 

Video visits aren't available on major holidays (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day).

Virtual visits are not for emergencies. If you have an urgent medical need, call 911 — or visit your nearest emergency department or urgent care facility. If you have questions or concerns about your on-demand video visit, please call (312) 563-0372. 

Please note: if you are 15 minutes late for your video visit, you may be charged a no-show fee. If you need help connecting to your video visit, please call (312) 563-0372.

Payment

We’ve recently updated our payment process and insurance coverage for video visit appointments. Your payment will be determined after your visit based on your care and insurance plan. We may bill you and/or your insurance for the relevant amount after your appointment. You may be charged a copay that you can choose to pay at the time of your visit or later.

Be sure to have your insurance card with you before your video visit. Here, you can find a list of all insurance plans that RUSH participates in.
