Scheduled Duke Virtual Urgent Care
Consider Virtual Urgent Care for Minor Medical Issues
Use Duke Virtual Urgent Care when you want medical attention for a minor medical issue and your doctor isn't available. You must be a Duke patient, age 6 or older, and you must have a Duke MyChart account to schedule an appointment.
Your online appointment is held over a secure video call through Duke MyChart and the Zoom application on your mobile device or computer with a webcam. After discussing your symptoms, you’ll receive follow-up notes in your MyChart account. Prescriptions can be sent to your preferred pharmacy.
Virtual visits take place between 8:00 am. and 8:00 pm and may be covered by insurance as an urgent care visit. Co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles apply.
Virtual urgent care visits with a Duke provider are scheduled at least one hour in advance. A Duke MyChart account is required.
