Health America NurseLine

There have, most likely, been many times you have questioned if you, or a member of your family, should go to the doctor or hospital for care when you/they were ill or had a injury.  We often would prefer not to go seek care if we don't have to.  Our insurance company, Health America, has a service that may be able to help you out in times like these - it is called NurseLine.  NurseLine is a service in which you can call a nurse who is trained to help you determine the right care for your situation.  The NurseLine can help you by:

  • asking about the symptoms of the injured or ill individual
  • helping you to decide what type of care you should seek (doctor, urgent care, emergency care, etc.)
  • offering advice for care at home

So the next time you're unsure of the type of care you should seek, give the NurseLine a call at 1-866-491-4462 and let the professionals help you determine where you should go.  They are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
