Understanding Costs, Coverage, and Patient Support
Understanding the financial aspects of accessing medical services is crucial for every patient. At Prism Medical Care, we prioritize transparency in costs and coverage options. You deserve to know what to expect when it comes to your health.
$0 Copay Options and Insurance Considerations
Many patients are delighted to learn about our $0 copay options for most unscheduled visits through the NowClinic platform. However, scheduled visits may involve a copay. It’s essential to review your specific insurance plan, as some services may be subject to deductibles or coinsurance.
Our dedicated team is here to support you in navigating these insurance considerations. This way, you can find a doctor and receive care without unexpected financial surprises.
Support for Patients Under 18 and Special Care Needs
For families with children, we offer virtual care services for patients under 18. A guardian must contact NowClinic customer support at 1-877-550-1515 to set up the minor’s account securely. This ensures that every young patient receives the attention they need.
We also provide special care needs, including mental health therapy and nutrition counseling. Appointments with licensed professionals are available to support your overall well-being.
Emergency and Urgent Care Guidelines for Virtual Visits
It’s important to note that virtual visits are designed for non-emergency situations. They are not a substitute for emergency care in life-threatening scenarios. If you experience a medical emergency, please call 911 immediately or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
For mental health crises, the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available at 988. Additionally, the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 offers 24-hour support from trained counselors.
Youth under 18 in crisis can reach the Mobile Crisis Response Team at 702-486-7865 in Southern Nevada or 775-688-1670 in Northern Nevada for immediate assistance.

Your prescription records, pharmacy coordination, and follow-up care are all managed through the app. This gives you full control over your health information and ongoing support.
