Emergencies
If you are having a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
When should I go to the emergency room?
If you are having any of the following: chest pain, shortness of breath or labored breathing, profuse bleeding, a broken bone, severe allergic reaction, sudden or progressing abdominal pain, diarrhea or vomiting over 36 hours, sudden vision change, worsening or new headache, severe pain, or high fever (>104 F).
If you have health insurance, take your health insurance card with you and know what services your insurance provides. The phone number on the back of your card will let you know of preferred facilities and providers. If you are transported to a hospital by ambulance, you will be charged. This is not a free service. Consider visiting a walk-in clinic for non-life-threatening illnesses. (listed below).
If you do not have insurance, the visit will not be free. The hospital will bill you for your visit.
