Urgent Care Video Visits for Kids

Urgent Care Video Visits

Monday–Friday: 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET Saturday–Sunday: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET

Expert Urgent Care for Your Child

It's easy to get quality care from a Nemours Children's Health provider when you need it, even on holidays. Your child doesn't have to be a Nemours patient. Simply use the Nemours app on your smartphone, tablet or computer to have a secure video visit. A visit can cost as little as $0 depending on your insurance. Ask your insurance about coverage for telehealth.

 

Hours and Eligibility

  • Your child can see a provider any time Monday–Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET, and Saturdays and  Sundays from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.ET.
  • We care for all kids, from newborn to 18 years.
  • Your child doesn’t have to be a Nemours patient.

For emergencies, call 911 or visit an emergency department.

You Can Schedule a Video Visit Too

If your child is a current patient, you may be able to schedule a video visit with their Nemours primary or specialty care provider. Call your provider’s office to set up an appointment.

If the online Nemours provider finds that your child needs a higher level of care, they’ll let you know. And they’ll tell you if you should see your child’s regular provider, urgent care or go the emergency department.

Step 1: Get Started

  • Download the app.
  • Create an account.
  • Plan to use a device with a camera and microphone.

Step 2: Launch Your Visit in the Nemours App

  • Choose Video Visit from the main menu.
  • Choose Select a Provider, and pick an available Nemours provider.
  • Pay securely.
  • You and your child meet with the Nemours provider. You’ll share your child’s history and symptoms, and the provider will diagnose and treat your child. If your child is a Nemours patient, the provider can see their full medical record. If a prescription is needed, the provider will send it to your pharmacy.

Step 3: After Your Visit

  • You’ll get a visit summary in the app.
  • Your child’s regular primary care provider can get a summary too. If your child is a Nemours patient, we’ll add the summary to their medical record.

Frequently Asked Questions

General

Why do I need to create an account?

You need an account to use our secure system. When you create an account, we'll ask for some basic information, including your insurance, pharmacy, your child’s medical history and primary care provider. Your online provider will be able to see this information.
