If it’s not an emergency, but you need medical advice, just call us at 1-855-456-9126 (TTY: 711). We can help you decide if you need to go to the ER or urgent care.
Urgent care
Urgent care is a great option if it’s not an emergency and you can’t see your PCP. Many centers open early and stay open late seven days a week. They may also have shorter wait times than an ER visit.
