We accept most major insurance plans

What Is a Pharyngitis / Strep Throat Evaluation?

A pharyngitis or strep throat evaluation focuses on identifying inflammation or infection of the throat. Providers assess whether symptoms are caused by viral illness or Group A Streptococcus bacteria, which requires antibiotic treatment.

What We Review During Your Evaluation:
  • Sore throat severity and duration
  • Fever, chills, or body aches
  • Swollen lymph nodes or tonsillar exudate
  • Difficulty swallowing or speaking
  • Exposure history and recent illness contacts
  • Need for strep testing or antibiotics

Why Early Throat Evaluation Matters

In-home visits reduce exposure and provide fast symptom relief. UrgentCare2Go® helps patients:

  • Differentiate viral vs bacterial throat infections
  • Begin antibiotics promptly when indicated
  • Reduce symptom duration and discomfort
  • Prevent complications such as rheumatic fever
  • Limit spread to family and community

How to Prepare for Your UrgentCare2Go

Create a Clean and Comfortable Environment:

  • Ensure the area for your UrgentCare2Go service is clean and has sufficient space for our equipment and staff to move around comfortably
  • Please ensure you are ready at the scheduled appointment time

Secure All Pets in an Enclosed Area:

  • Of course, we love pets! However, for the safety and comfort of everyone, please ensure all pets are secured in a separate, enclosed space during the visit

We Accept All Major Insurances

At UrgentCare2Go®, we accept most major insurance plans including Medicare and Texas Medicaid using our billing company DK Physicians PLLC.
