Anything that needs hands-on care is coordinated with facilities in and around Prescott, such as Yavapai Regional Medical Center – West, Prescott (Dignity Health; 137 beds; ADHS Level IV trauma center), Yavapai Regional Medical Center – East, Prescott Valley (Dignity Health; ADHS Level IV) and Northern Arizona VA Health Care System – Bob Stump VA Medical Center, Prescott (24/7 emergency department for enrolled veterans).

For chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, a major injury or thoughts of harming yourself, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than booking a video visit.
Are there community health centers in Prescott for in-person care?
Yavapai County Community Health Services health center clinics (HRSA-funded under ’Yavapai, County of’; 1090 Commerce Dr, Prescott; 3212 N. Windsong Dr, Prescott Valley; Cottonwood) serve the area with in-person primary care on a sliding scale. Many patients pair that kind of local clinic with telehealth for follow-ups, medication management and specialist coordination.
Can I use Arizona Medicaid or other insurance for a telehealth visit from Prescott?
Arizona Medicaid plans are not on the participating list right now. Plans accepted in Arizona: BCBS / Anthem PPO, UnitedHealthcare PPO, UMR (PPO), Aetna PPO, Cigna PPO, Humana PPO, Ambetter PPO, TRICARE. Benefits are verified before your visit, and self-pay pricing is posted if your plan is not accepted.
Is Prescott a health professional shortage area?
Yavapai County has HRSA primary care and mental health HPSAs including 2 FQHC/look-alike facility HPSAs; PCP FTE shortage 15.3, psychiatrist FTE shortage 4.0. The Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe and Yavapai-Apache Nation facilities appear on the Arizona rural safety-net map. Arizona Center for Rural Health (Dec. 2024): Arizona has primary care physician shortages in all 15 counties, meets 35.4% of its primary care need and needs 493 more PCP FTEs; its mental health brief (2023) finds psychiatrist shortages in every county and just 8.54% of mental health need met. Telehealth can complement local clinicians by offering another way to access primary care, mental health and medication follow-up while you keep your local relationships.
Can orders be sent to a laboratory or imaging facility near me?
When clinically appropriate, we can send orders to a laboratory or imaging facility you choose. Confirm that the location performs the requested test, accepts the order and participates in your insurance network. Availability and travel distance vary by community.

Good to know
Services, screening recommendations, testing, treatment options, referrals and prescribing may vary with your age, medical history, symptoms, where you are physically located at the time of the visit, state and federal requirements, insurance requirements, and whether your condition can be safely managed by telehealth. Conditions and services listed here are examples. An appointment does not guarantee a particular diagnosis, a prescription, a controlled medication, hormone therapy, a lab order, an imaging study, a sleep study, a specialist referral, an accommodation letter or a particular treatment. Treatment decisions follow a clinical evaluation and the provider’s judgment.

Getting care in Prescott
A mile-high former territorial capital and one of the country’s most retiree-heavy metro areas.
Prescott and Prescott Valley have one of the oldest populations of any U.S. metro area, with about 35 percent of residents 65 or older, and Yavapai County remains short of primary care physicians and psychiatrists by federal measure. That combination means long waits for new patients, especially for anyone managing several conditions. Wade’s Care First offers video visits for primary care, geriatric concerns, sleep problems, mood and memory changes, weight management and minor illnesses, with labs, imaging and prescriptions arranged locally.
If you are a veteran, the Northern Arizona VA in Prescott remains your primary system; telehealth can complement it. Anything that needs a physical exam, a procedure or hands-on assessment is referred to Yavapai Regional Medical Center or a local clinic.
Access in Yavapai County
Yavapai County needs an estimated 15.3 more primary care physician FTEs and 4.0 psychiatrist FTEs under HRSA criteria. About 35.3% of the Prescott Valley–Prescott metro population was 65 or older in 2024, roughly double the national share, and the city’s median age is 59.7, which drives demand for geriatric, cardiac and chronic-disease care. Both YRMC campuses are Level IV trauma centers, meaning serious trauma is stabilized and transferred to Phoenix or Flagstaff. Arizona’s uninsured rate was 10.3% in 2024.
Who this helps most in Prescott
Telehealth is well suited to Prescott-area retirees who no longer drive comfortably, caregivers managing a spouse’s conditions, people in Chino Valley, Dewey-Humboldt or the outlying ranch areas, and working adults in Prescott Valley. It fits blood pressure and diabetes follow-up, sleep and insomnia care, depression and anxiety, skin checks, ADHD, and medication management. It is not for emergencies. Yavapai Regional Medical Center’s two campuses are Level IV trauma centers that stabilize and transfer the most serious cases, so for chest pain, stroke symptoms, a bad fall with head injury or hip pain, or sudden breathing trouble, call 911 right away rather than waiting for a video appointment. Falls and new confusion in older adults should be evaluated in person the same day.
Local health considerations
- Retiree population: 35.3% of the Prescott Valley–Prescott metro area was 65+ in 2024 versus 18% nationally (USAFacts, Census data); Prescott’s median age is 59.7 (Data USA).
- Trauma access: YRMC West and East are Level IV trauma centers; the nearest Level I centers are in Phoenix and Flagstaff (ADHS designated trauma centers list, Dec. 2025).
- Veteran population: the Northern Arizona VA Health Care System is headquartered in Prescott with a 24/7 emergency department and clinics across northern Arizona (VA; Arizona Center for Rural Health).
