Schedule a Virtual Urgent Care VisitHere are some common questions about Virtual Urgent Care.
You can make an appointment online through our website’s scheduling portal or through your or your child’s NYU Langone Health MyChart account.
NYU Langone’s Virtual Urgent Care services are available to patients who are physically located in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Florida at the time of the visit.
Anyone age 5 years or older can use Virtual Urgent Care. Adults must sign in using their own NYU Langone Health MyChart account. For children’s video visits, the parent or legal guardian’s NYU Langone Health MyChart account must be set up with healthcare proxy access to the child’s health record.
If a parent or legal guardian does not already have an NYU Langone Health MyChart account, they receive an email or text with instructions on how to create an account after they have scheduled the appointment.
If the parent or legal guardian does not already have healthcare proxy access to their child’s NYU Langone health record, they receive temporary access to complete the Virtual Urgent Care video visit.
Your Virtual Urgent Care provider can prescribe medications as needed. Controlled substances and certain other medications cannot be prescribed during video visits.
During your visit, let your Virtual Urgent Care provider know you need a note. After your visit, you can access the note from your NYU Langone Health MyChart account.
If you already have an NYU Langone Health MyChart account, sign in to begin the check-in process. If you do not already have an account, you must create one. You will be prompted to create an account when you schedule your video visit.
Having an NYU Langone Health MyChart account allows you to save time when scheduling your appointments with NYU Langone providers by securely storing your personal information, such as your medical history and current medication, in your NYU Langone health record.

If your Virtual Urgent Care provider recommends laboratory testing or an imaging exam, your provider enters an order into your NYU Langone Health MyChart account. You can then schedule your test for a location of your choice. Your results can be found in your MyChart account, and we will contact you about any abnormal results.
