What is the definition of emergency?
If, in your opinion, your symptoms suggest an emergency situation, for example, difficulty breathing and pain in your arm, you should go to the emergency room. If an individual has a runny nose and cough, this is not an emergency situation, and a visit to an Urgent Care Center would be more appropriate or perhaps a Minute Clinic. Minute Clinics are located in many CVS locations. Minute Clinics are at the Specialist co-pay level.
