Get Urgent Health Care Advice by Phone 24/7

HPSM members can call the Nurse Advice Line for urgent health questions when their health care providers are not available or after hours. When you call, Registered Nurses are ready to answer questions about your symptoms. They can tell you if you need urgent care (such as seeing a health care provider within 24 hours) or if you can wait a few days. Sometimes a nurse might give you advice for self-care at home.

The Nurse Advice Line is for urgent questions about your health.
