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).
