Take a health screening survey
Take a health screening survey
We call every new member for a health screening survey. During this call, we’ll ask you some health questions. Why take part in the survey? This will help our care management team understand your health needs. They can then design a personal care plan and get you the services you need. They’ll also share the info with your doctor so they can work together to help you stay well.
The survey is easy, and your answers are private. If you have questions, just call 1-855-221-5656 (TTY: 711).

24-Hour Nurse Line
If it’s not an emergency, but you need medical advice, call us at 1-855-221-5656 (TTY: 711). Then, choose the option for the 24-Hour Nurse Line. A nurse can help you decide if you need to go to the ER or 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.
