It is played after the Epidemic is fully resolved, before Infections, and is not an action. The chosen player moves to the epidemic city with permission and does a normal Treat Disease, so modifiers apply: Improved Sanitation removes two cubes, the Medic removes all of a colour. Against Resistant to Treatment, the single action does not remove a Virulent Strain cube.
