Minor Emergency Services at Primary Health Partners

Although they may not be life-threatening, minor emergencies can still be a major inconvenience. Whether it’s a mild sprain or muscle strain, an allergic reaction, or a suspicious rash, minor emergencies can be stressful, painful, and uncomfortable, and they rarely happen during regular business hours, requiring a lengthy trip to the emergency room or to an urgent care clinic with a on-call provider you’ve never met before.

With Primary Health Partners, however, minor emergencies don’t have to mean a visit to the hospital or even an urgent care clinic. With access to your provider via text, email, or videochat on nights, weekends, and even holidays, as well as same-day and next-day appointments, you can get the care you need when you need it, without the waiting room or wondering if your visit will be covered by insurance. In many cases, a quick telehealth consultation with your provider can get you the answers you need to make a decision or even a treatment solution, saving you money, time, and hassle.

Primary Health Partners: Making Minor Emergencies Less Stressful

Minor emergencies are injuries or illnesses that don’t threaten your life or mobility but if left untreated can cause bigger complications. They may involve mild symptoms like low-grade fevers, limited motion, moderate pain, or minimal swelling that can benefit from urgent treatment. By visiting Primary Health Partners instead of an emergency room or urgent care clinic, you can save time and money while receiving immediate, high-quality care from a provider who knows you and your unique health needs.

Primary Health Partners provides immediate, effective, and affordable treatment and pain relief for minor injuries and symptoms such as:

  • Sprains, strains, and mild fractures
  • Mild asthma attacks
  • Rashes and skin lesions
  • Minor infections
  • Headaches
  • Mild lacerations or cuts
  • Prolonged cold and/or flu symptoms
  • Dislocated joints
  • Allergic reactions
  • Mild burns
  • Eye, ear, or skin infections
  • GI upset like nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting
While we can treat a wide range of minor emergencies, Primary Health Partners is not equipped to treat serious or life-threatening situations like uncontrolled or excessive bleeding, cardiovascular complications, shock, or severe swelling.

How Direct Primary Care is Different for Your Minor Emergencies

Under the traditional healthcare model, only your regular visits are covered by insurance, leaving urgent care issues to someone other than your primary provider and leaving you to foot the bill. With direct primary care from Primary Health Partners, you can see your regular provider—the one who knows you best—in person for a same-day or next-day appointment as often as you need without paying more out of pocket. Your membership grants you unlimited access to your provider 24/7, 365, as well as to comprehensive treatments and services at reduced or wholesale costs, all for one low monthly fee. And appointments are always scheduled on your time to take as long as is necessary for the care you deserve, even for minor emergencies.

Other advantages of direct primary care for your minor emergencies include:

  • Remote consultation and diagnosis, especially when your provider is familiar with your health history. A virtual appointment can get you the appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan without having to interrupt your day or your routine.
  • Same-day appointments, where you’ll be seen right away. You’ll skip the lengthy stay in a waiting room full of other sick patients, spending that time instead in an exam room with your provider asking questions and discussing your concerns.
  • No-cost or low-cost tests and treatments, like strep, flu, or pregnancy tests, medication, and durable medical equipment (DME) such as splints at wholesale prices.
Experienced, informed guidance to navigate referrals or additional care without the wait times, excessive expenses, and redundant testing, exams, or appointments, so you can get the right treatment sooner and without the runaround.
