Top ER Diagnosis for UNI

For UNI sponsored health plans, the #1 diagnosis in the Emergency Room are UTIs. Doctor On Demand recently wrote about Diagnosing a Urinary Tract Infection and the symptoms associated with a UTI. Doctor on Demand can diagnose a UTI by recognizing the symptoms and by reviewing patient medical history. A prescription may be sent to your pharmacy in order to treat the infection. Local Urgent Care Facilities can also diagnose and treat UTIs. Using Doctor on Demand or local urgent care facilities for diagnosing a UTI can help save both you and the plan money, instead of going to the emergency room.
