Frequently asked questions about virtual walk-in clinics in NYC
How long is the wait for a doctor in NYC?
Wait times for doctors in NYC depend on the type of care needed. ER visits often exceed 6 hours, urgent care can take 2-4 hours, and primary care appointments may require weeks to months of waiting. Your Doctors Online allows you to speak with a doctor instantly with no wait time in NYC.
How much do online doctors charge in NYC?
The cost of an online doctor visit varies by platform. Affordable and low-cost telehealth options are available at Your Doctors Online for residents of NYC.
Can I get an online prescription in NYC?

Can I get a doctor's note online for work or school?

Can I get a same-day virtual doctor consultation in NYC?
Yes! Your Doctors Online offers same-day and even instant doctor consultations in NYC. You can receive a diagnosis, prescription, or medical advice without waiting for an in-person appointment.
Are telehealth visits covered by Medicaid in NYC?
Yes! Medicaid and many private insurers in New York cover telehealth visits. Virtual visits, behavioral health services, and some specialist consultations are included. Check with your insurance provider to confirm your coverage for online medical consultations.
Do I need a referral to see a specialist online in NYC?
No, most virtual doctors do not require a referral. You can book online consultations with healthcare providers through Your Doctors Online. However, if using insurance, some plans may require a referral for coverage. Always verify with your provider to avoid unexpected costs.
What if I need a follow-up visit after my online consultation?
Your Doctors Online offers follow-up visits as part of our package. Our service includes four appointments that can be scheduled anytime. We also coordinate prescriptions and lab tests for ongoing treatment. Additionally, you can switch your online doctors at any time.
Is a virtual walk-in clinic in NYC better than an in-person visit?
A virtual walk-in clinic offers 24/7 access to a doctor without the long wait. Virtual healthcare is faster, more convenient, and widely available, especially in under-resourced areas like the Bronx or parts of Queens. However, in-person visits are still necessary for physical exams, lab tests, and certain procedures. Many New Yorkers use online doctor visits first and go in-person if needed.
How many people in NYC are without a primary care doctor?
Approximately 1.5 million New Yorkers do not have a primary care doctor. Many low-income, elderly, and underserved residents rely on urgent care, ERs, or virtual doctor visits instead. Due to NYC’s doctor shortage, finding a primary care physician can be difficult.
What if I need an online doctor in a remote part of NYC?
As long as you have internet or phone access, you can connect with an online doctor anytime, anywhere. This is particularly useful for Staten Island residents, where access to healthcare facilities is more limited.
