E-Visit

Anyone 2 years of age and older living in Minnesota, North Dakota, or Wisconsin can use this convenient and cost-effective online service.

The following are common concerns or conditions treated during an E-Visit:

• Back Pain
• Cold and flu symptons, such as cough, congestion, fever, sinus pain, sore throat
• Diarrhea
• Eye redness or irritation (pink eye)
• Insect bite or sting, including tick bites or bee stings
• Painful or frequent urination (urinary tract infection)
• Request for COVID-19 test at a Essentia Health facility
• Skin conditions, including rash, ringworm, eczema, or athlete's foot
• Sore on side or outside of mouth, lips, or nose (cold or canker  sores)
• Vaginal discharge or irritation (yeast infection)

Having an Essentia E-Visit is easy. All you have to do is fill out a short questionnaire, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Your answers will be reviewed by an Essentia provider who will make a diagnosis and create a personalized care plan just for you. You’ll also be given a phone number to call if you have any questions or concerns about your care plan.

The whole process usually takes 2 hours or less, and if for some reason, your condition cannot be treated online, your provider may recommend that you seek in-person care with your primary care provider or same-day care, such as urgent care.

Prescriptions

If your provider prescribes a medication, we’ll send your prescription to the pharmacy of your choice. Learn more about pharmacy services at Essentia.

An Essentia E-Visit costs only $40, and you will need a credit card to use the service. Your card won’t be charged until you receive your care plan, and some insurance providers will reimburse you for the cost of E-Visits.

You can also use your health savings or flexible spending accounts to cover the fee.
