Your Urgency Room provider is able to prescribe certain medications as part of your care plan, if clinically appropriate. We do not provide prescriptions for controlled substances, for example, opiate pain medication.

The Urgency Room is not an online pharmacy and we cannot refill prescriptions. If a prescription medication is part of your treatment plan, you can send it to the pharmacy of your choice. You are responsible for the cost of any prescriptions, over-the-counter treatments, or follow-up visits you may need related to prescriptions.

If a prescription is clinically appropriate, your treatment plan will include a link to have your prescription filled. Just click the link, select the pharmacy of your choice, and send the prescription – it’s that easy.

Most pharmacies accept most insurance plans. That said, please verify that the pharmacy you select is within your covered network before sending your prescription. If needed, you can request a pharmacy change by calling The Urgency Room support at (651) 300-0333.

The cost of online care will vary depending on the level of complexity. Visits start at $178.00.

While we have contracts with most major Minnesota insurers, we highly recommend all patients check with their individual insurance plan regarding benefit coverage for online care at The Urgency Room.
