UrgentMED Network Now Offering Telemedicine and Coronavirus Evaluations and Testing at Select Locations

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 14, 2020 / The COVID-19 pandemic has all but disrupted every aspect of life, from “stay at home” orders to social distancing, and school closures, there is no doubt that the community at large is experiencing an unprecedented event like none faced before.

During these challenging times, having access to high-quality medical care is paramount. UrgentMED’s expansive network is open, prepared, and ready to assist those in need. They are now offering expanded telemedicine, Coronavirus health evaluations, and testing at select locations.

Telemedicine

According to a study in the American Journal of Managed Care, leveraging remote health interventions such as telemedicine can improve medical outcomes while reducing patient costs. As a leader in innovative healthcare, UrgentMED was quick to pivot to provide high-quality, reliable, and effective medical evaluations through Telemedicine. This is critically important during a time when social distancing is so vital for the prevention of infection and the spread of COVID-19.

Coronavirus Evaluations and Testing

All currently open UrgentMED locations now offer Coronavirus evaluations for those who suspect exposure or who are exhibiting or experiencing symptoms associated with the virus. If deemed necessary, those patients who meet the medically mandated criteria are able to have access to two forms of testing. Depending on your severity and duration of symptoms or suspected exposure, UrgentMED Providers will determine what type of testing is most appropriate.

Testing may be conducted by way of nasal swabs or by a rapid serological test performed through a finger prick. Patients of the UrgentMED Network are encouraged to contact their provider at the first sign of symptoms or concern and to ask about the expansion of any testing locations available in their area.
