Overview
Virtual Primary Care makes accessing care easy, so you're able to get care when needed and pursue your best health. You can select a Virtual Primary Care provider (V‑PCP) to manage your care or opt to see the first available provider. When in‑person care is needed, you'll be guided to a care team or the right location to receive care.
See a V-PCP for:
- Diagnosis and management of chronic conditions.
- Simple, everyday care needs.
- Preventive care to aid your long-term health. If a physical exam is needed, we will coordinate care at a PMG clinic of your preference in the Albuquerque area.
- Prescription orders and refills, including birth control.
- Medication management and adjustments.
- Test needs, including lab and radiology, at the site closest to you.
- Referrals to specialists, as needed.
- Easy communication using MyChart to instantly message your V‑PCP and monitor your healthcare journey.
Virtual Primary Care cannot be used for:
- Prescribing controlled substances.
- Prescribing weight loss medication.
- Evaluation and management of severe, uncontrolled conditions. Specialists will be engaged.
- Pneumonia with fever/cough/tachycardia, unexplained fever or mild abdominal pain, and male genitourinary symptoms. Urgent Care is recommended.
- Serious and severe conditions, such as stroke symptoms, severe abdominal pain/back pain/headache, uncontrolled vomiting, kidney stones, major cuts, suicidal thoughts, and sudden change in mental state. Emergency Care is recommended.
