24-Hour Nurse Hotline
We offer all our EmblemHealth VIP Medicare Advantage plan members the 24-Hour Nurse Hotline. The 24-Hour Nurse Hotline is staffed by highly trained registered nurses. They will guide you in making informed decisions about everyday health issues. They will also work with you on how best to handle a medical concern.
The program also helps as an "early warning system" for health conditions before they may need a doctor visit, emergency room visit or a hospital stay
Members can call the 24-Hour Nurse Line at 877-444-7988, 24 hours/seven days a week. If you use a TTY, please call 711.
