Start with PPO
A lower-cost way to start, if you can wait
PPO is the standard starting point for routine or non-urgent care. Immediate Care is there when you want faster, more complete answers.
Two ways to start
Different levels of evaluation
Both paths are valid. The difference is how much diagnostic depth you want at the start.
