Check Your Symptoms With Self-Triage

  • How do I find the Self-Triage tool?
  • What symptoms can I use the Self-Triage tool for?
  • How do I use the Self-Triage tool?
  • What recommendations for care will I get?
  • What if my symptoms are not listed on the Self-Triage tool?
  1. The Self-Triage tool is in MyNM.
    • If you do not have a MyNM account, you can learn how to set one up by visiting MyNM FAQ . You can also download the MyNM® app, available on the App Store or Google Play.
  2. Sign into your MyNM account. You can log in at mynm.nm.org .
  3. Go to the main Menu.
  4. Under Find Care, click on Self-Triage.

You can use the MyNM® app or on an internet browser on a computer, tablet or smartphone.

Once you are on the Self-Triage page, you will find a list of common symptoms, including:

  • Stomach and back pain
  • Cold and flu symptoms
  • COVID-19
  • Diarrhea (adult and children)
  • Ear pain (children)
  • Headache and head injury
  • Muscle and joint

If you are using the Self-Triage tool for a child, please be sure to sign into the child’s MyNM account with proxy access. Self-triage for pediatric symptoms is only available in accounts for patients younger than 18. Please visit the MyNM Proxy Access page to find the forms to ask for proxy access. Proxy access gives you access to another patient’s MyNM account.



When you click on your symptoms, you will answer several questions about them. The questions will ask you about how long you have had the symptoms and other details.

At the end of the questions, you will get a recommendation for care.

At the end of the questions, you will get recommendations for care, including:

  • Call 911
  • Go to the nearest emergency department
  • Go to an Immediate Care Center (virtual or in-person visit)
  • Make a primary care physician appointment (virtual or in-person visit)
  • How to care for yourself at home

Each care recommendation will have details about how to access the care. If you do not have a primary care physician, you may schedule a new patient visit.

All care recommendations for physician visits will be for a primary care visit (Family Medicine, Internal Medicine or Pediatrics). The tool will not recommend specialty care visits such as cardiology or orthopaedics.

If you have symptoms other than those listed, you can click on the Symptom Checker box. Clicking on Symptom Checker will take you to a website outside of your MyNM account.

The Symptom Checker tool will also ask you questions about your symptoms and how long you have had them. You will get a recommendation to visit a physician, Immediate Care Center or Emergency Department.
