At the end of the visit, my goal is to have the patients feel more informed and to feel like their issues have been properly addressed.
I enjoy the challenges of piecing together the puzzle – putting difficult, complicated signs and symptoms together and trying to formulate a diagnosis.

How E-Visits work
E-Visits at Rush are available to anyone 18 and older, whether or not they have seen a doctor at Rush in the past. Get started with your online doctor visit using the following steps:
-
If you’re a new patient to Rush, you must first create a MyChart account. MyChart gives you free access to your online health record. Current Rush patients without MyChart will also need to create an account.
-
Once you have an account, log in to MyChart.
-
In your MyChart account, click on “Start an E-Visit” under Quick Links.
-
Fill out a secure online questionnaire based on your symptoms and medical history.
- In less than an hour, a Rush provider will send you a MyChart message with a diagnosis and treatment plan. The plan will include any needed online prescriptions, which Rush will send to your pharmacy of choice to be filled.
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.
E-Visits at Rush hours
- Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
- Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
If you complete an online physician visit outside these hours or on certain holidays, you will receive an online diagnosis within an hour after E-Visit services resume the following day.
Online diagnosis of the following conditions
- Flu
- Cough and cold
- Sinus pain or pressure
- Painful urination (females only)
- Vaginal irritation
- Back pain*
- Diarrhea*
- Heartburn*
- Red eye (requires uploaded photo)*
If you need treatment for a condition other than these, you can make an appointment or visit one of Rush’s walk-in care locations.
*Only for established patients who have visited Rush in the last three years.
Payment
E-Visits cost just $30 per visit. Rush doesn’t bill insurance for online doctor visits. Your credit, debit or health savings account (HSA) will be charged after you receive your diagnosis.
If it turns out that we need to see you in person before we can diagnose your condition, we’ll help you schedule an appointment, and you will not be charged for your E-Visit.
