What can I expect during an urgent care evaluation?

During your evaluation, the I40First team takes time to review your personal and family medical history. They also discuss the type of symptoms you’re having and how frequent and severe they are. Your provider can work closely with you to quickly assess your condition and recommend treatment.

Suppose your provider suspects you have an infection or other underlying issue. In that case, they may refer you to a local hospital or testing center for additional blood work or other diagnostic testing. The team later reviews your test results to determine the best course of treatment.

Your provider customizes a treatment plan and can recommend over-the-counter or noncontrolled prescription medicines. In some cases, especially if you have existing health conditions, your I40First provider may offer a specialist referral to connect you with an area doctor for further treatment. 

What if I need a refill on my medications?

If you’re using medications to treat an acute illness and need a prescription refill, the I40First team provides medication refill services. This ensures you can continue taking necessary medications between your primary care visits.

The I40First staff also schedules a follow-up visit to confirm your treatment is working and that you’re on the road to recovery.
