Timely Access to Care Standards

After Hours Care

IEHP Providers can direct Members to access care after hours. After hour care includes the 24-Hour Nurse Advice Line, DocOnline and Urgent Care Clinics.

 

Fever? Pain? Cold? Call our 24-Hour Nurse Advice Line

 

Your Members can call the IEHP 24-Hour Nurse Advice Line for medical advice anytime, day or night: 1-888-244-IEHP (4347)

 

DocOnline, an extension to the Nurse Advice Line, allows Members to speak with a board-certified Physician for advice after hours using telephonic and/or video devices. DocOnline Physicians will triage, assess, and provide diagnoses for minor acute conditions. Physicians may also give treatment advice, refill select prescriptions and refer Members for in-person care.
