Your patients might choose to visit the emergency room when they cannot get timely cardiac care. We want to be sure our members receive the right care at the right time, which means avoiding the emergency room if there is no true emergency. On Feb. 1, 2024, EmblemHealth and Catholic Health launched a six-month Rapid Cardiac Response Pilot Program to address this concern. The program allows EmblemHealth members who receive regular cardiac care with you to also get in-network care sooner with Catholic Health St. Francis Heart Center cardiologists across Long Island.
EmblemHealth in-network cardiologists can take part in this program and make immediate appointments for referred patients by calling 631-396-8650 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday. Preauthorization is not required and details of your patient’s visit are shared with you.
