Sick at the Seashore? JeffConnect Urgent Care Video Visits Available in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware

Going to the shore is a hugely popular activity in this area. Whether it’s the charm of Cape May, New Jersey, or the natural beauty of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, or any point in between, you will find scores of fellow Pennsylvanians relaxing by the ocean.

However, it never fails that someone in the family gets sick or has a minor injury that probably needs medical attention outside the scope of Dr. Mom. When you’re down the shore, you might go to a local urgent care clinic that doesn’t accept your health insurance. However, now you have an affordable and easy virtual health care option: JeffConnect. And the best part is, you can receive care quickly whether you are in New Jersey, Delaware or chilling by a lake in the Poconos, 24/7.

JeffConnect offers 24/7 on-demand video visits, allowing you to connect with an urgent care clinician within minutes for a virtual health care visit, no matter where you are in Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Delaware. You can receive prompt, expert medical advice without a trip to an office.

JeffConnect on-demand video visits are similar to urgent care visits and are ideal for non-emergency conditions, such as colds, flu, cough, fever, urinary tract symptoms, infections, minor injuries and more. JeffConnect clinicians can also help point you in the right direction for further care, whether you need to see a specialist or if something is more emergent.

All you need to do is sign in or register for JeffConnect, request an appointment and confirm your reason for the appointment along with supplying basic information, such as your contact info and pharmacy. Within minutes, you will have a video visit with an urgent care clinician who can assess your illness or injury and provide medical advice or prescribe medication, if needed.

The after-visit summary of your virtual health care visit will be emailed to you as well as available in your MyJeffersonHealth account. If you don’t already have a MyJeffersonHealth account, the JeffConnect clinician can help facilitate opening one, although you don’t need to establish one if you prefer not to.

If you’re in Pennsylvania, you can still have a same-day/next-day video visit with a primary care clinician, available seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. After-visit summaries from those visits will appear in your MyLVHN account.

With two great options, here are three ways to decide which is right for you:

• Prefer to schedule a video visit? Same-day/next-day video visit with a primary care clinician.
• Need a video visit right now? JeffConnect video visit with an urgent care clinician.
• Vacationing in New Jersey or Delaware? JeffConnect urgent care clinician video visit.

And if a chart is an easier way to compare options, here’s a breakdown of details so you can choose the type of care that works best for you:

For either type of care, insurance typically covers this type of visit with your standard copay. JeffConnect also offers credit card payment options at the time of the visit.
