24 Hour Nurse Hotline, 1-800-283-3221
Did you know that Medicaid offers this free service to all of its Primary Care Physician Program and fee-for-service clients? Whenever a client is hurt or sick, please encourage him or her to call the nurse hotline prior to seeking treatment. This can help reduce unnecessary emergency room and office visits and allow providers more time to spend with those who truly need medical attention. By promoting this nurse hotline to your Medicaid patients, it enables an RN to assess the client's condition and direct his or her care appropriately. This service is available after hours too! For more information, or to request promotional materials, please contact the Department at 303-866-3513 or 1-800-221-3943.
