For busy families in Eastern Idaho, taking your child to the doctor doesn’t always fit neatly into the day. Between work, school, and other responsibilities, getting your child the care they need can feel like a hassle. But what if high-quality pediatric care were just a click away?
At Just 4 Kids Urgent Care, we’re proud to offer convenient virtual care services for families in Rexburg, Idaho Falls, Chubbuck, and surrounding communities. With our easy-to-use telehealth platform, you can connect with a friendly pediatric provider from the comfort of your own home–no travel, no waiting room, no stress.
Why Virtual Visits Are Awesome for Kids
Virtual care brings the clinic to your living room, and for many families, that’s a game-changer. Whether your child has a rash, a lingering cough, or you just need peace of mind, a virtual visit can help you get answers quickly without ever leaving the house.
Here are a few reasons why parents love virtual visits with Just 4 Kids:
- Saves time: No more waiting in traffic or at a busy clinic. You can join the queue and see a provider whenever it’s convenient for you.
- Avoids unnecessary exposure: Meeting with a provider from home helps keep your child safe and reduces their risk of picking up germs from a traditional waiting room.
- Reduces stress: Children are often more relaxed in a familiar environment, which can make visits easier for everyone.
- Offers quick answers: Our pediatric specialists can diagnose and treat a wide range of minor illnesses and conditions in just a few minutes.
Our entire virtual care experience is explicitly designed for kids, so you can feel confident that your child is in good hands.

How to Prepare Before the Visit
A little preparation goes a long way to make the most of your child’s virtual care appointment. Here are some quick tips to ensure a smooth experience:
Check your insurance
Many insurance plans cover virtual care services. Before your appointment, it’s a good idea to check with your provider. If your plan doesn’t cover telehealth or you don’t have insurance, we also offer affordable self-pay options.
Have important health info ready
During the visit, the provider may ask about your child’s symptoms, medical history, and any medications they’re taking. It’s helpful to have:
- Your child’s current weight and temperature (if available)
- A list of symptoms and how long they’ve been occurring
- Any allergies or past medical conditions
Set up your technology
Make sure your phone, tablet, or computer is charged and has a stable internet connection. Check that the camera and microphone are working so you can communicate easily with the provider.
Choose a quiet, comfortable space
Find a calm area of your home where your child feels relaxed and can speak to the provider without distractions. Good lighting helps too, especially if you plan on showing a rash, swelling, or other visible symptoms.
What Happens During Your Virtual Urgent Care Visit
When it’s time for your appointment, you’ll log in to the Anytime Pediatrics app and join the video call. Here’s what to expect:
- Meet your provider: One of our caring pediatric specialists will greet you and your child and make sure you’re both comfortable.
- Talk about symptoms: The provider will ask questions about how your child is feeling, their symptoms, and any other concerns you may have.
- Get a diagnosis: Based on your child’s symptoms, the provider will offer a diagnosis and recommend the best course of action. If needed, they may refer you for in-person care or onsite testing.
Virtual visits are designed to be quick, clear, and stress-free. We make every effort to ensure you and your child feel at ease throughout the entire process.
