Immediate Care
Need immediate care?
If it's not life-threatening and your primary care office is closed, immediate care is your best option for world-class health care and outstanding customer service, billed at the cost of a regular doctor’s visit.
Services available at Immediate Care
Immediate care is not a substitute for seeing your primary care physician (PCP). Always check to see if your primary care office has an appointment available before using Immediate Care. You can schedule a visit with your primary care physician through myUCLAhealth or check their availability and schedule an appointment by calling your primary care office. If your primary care physician is not available, a member of their team can help.
Note: There may be times when the care you need falls outside the realm of services offered at Immediate Care or our patient volume reaches capacity. In these instances, we will direct you where to go to get the care you need.

What’s available:
- Acute illness evaluation (e.g., colds, fevers, flu and flu-like symptoms, ear infections, urinary tract infections, etc.)

Immediate Care video visit
Immediate Care Video Visits are an extension of walk-in immediate care for current UCLA Health patients. You don’t need an appointment. Simply log in to myUCLAhealth and pick an available time that works for you. At the scheduled time, you’ll meet with a physician through a secure video call. Immediate Care Video Visits are available Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 8 pm.
Once you’re connected, a physician will:
- Take the time to discuss your symptoms
- Decide on a treatment plan
- Answer any questions you may have
- Arrange follow-up visits if you need them
This option is ideal when you have minor medical concerns such as a rash, flu symptoms or signs of a respiratory infection.
Before you start your video visit, you will be notified what your copay is so that you can pay before joining the call. Insurance copays for virtual care vary.

What to bring
Please have your medical information readily available, including a list of medications that you are currently taking. This information will help the doctor evaluate your health status.

- If UCLA Medical Group is your assigned HMO medical group, your visit will be covered.
- For patients who do not have insurance or do not have insurance plans contracted with UCLA, payment is expected by cash, check or credit card at the time of service.
