Urgent Care Centers

How do you access medical care when your PCP’s office is closed?

All SeaView IPA PCP’s have a physician on-call after hours, on weekends and holidays if you have a urgent medical need that cannot wait until the office next opens. If time permits, call your PCP’s office phone number to be connected with the on-call physician. The on-call physician will be able to provide medical advice and instructions about how to manage your condition. If you need urgent or emergent care, the on-call physician will direct you to and Urgent Care Center contracted with SeaView IPA or an Emergency Room depending on which setting is more appropriate for your medical condition.
