Quick Care Options |
By reviewing the quick care options before visiting the emergency department, you may be eligible to earn a $20 credit toward your health plan account. If your medical situation is not an emergency, please consider the other options below. The cost of an emergency room visit is likely to exceed any of the options below. If you do need emergency care, complete the information below to confirm that you reviewed the quick care options prior to a visit to an emergency room and to qualify for the health plan credit.
- Both the Nurse Advice Line and the HR website provide information on these care options that may be a more convenient or appropriate for a non-emergency condition:
- Walk-in clinic or urgent care facility around Middle Tennessee
- Occupational Health Clinic or Faculty/Staff Express Care on campus. Currently open M-F 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., hours are being expanded in the near future to accommodate more non-emergency visits by employees.
- An at-home or at-work visit by Vanderbilt Health OnCall
- Or your primary care physician
Human Resources will verify the information submitted and, once approved, the credit will be added to your health plan account for use towards future deductible or coinsurance costs. Please note that this process can take up to 6 weeks from the date of your visit. The VUMC health plan reserves the right to decline submissions that are not sent prior to the emergency visit, for ineligible visits, or for incomplete or false information.
