Start with symptoms, not a diagnosis.
A cough, urinary discomfort, sinus pressure or irritated skin can send you searching for an answer. Our condition guides explain what a video visit can help with and when an examination matters.
A care option outside ordinary office hours.
The service is available 24/7, including nights and weekends. That describes when care is offered, not a promise about how long you will wait. Start through Solv to request a visit.
When your usual provider is unavailable.
An existing prescription running low is a reasonable reason to ask for care. A clinician can review the request and decide whether a refill is appropriate, what records are needed or whether you should return to your usual provider.
Help making sense of the next step.
Bring questions about a prior care plan, symptoms that have changed or instructions you want to understand better. The right next step may be a follow-up visit, additional information or an examination.
Choose the setting that fits the problem.
Video makes a clinical conversation possible from where you are. It cannot provide an X-ray, stitches or every physical examination. Read the care-options guide when you are deciding between a video visit and hands-on care.
