The nurse helpline is a 24-hour service your Amerigroup patients can call to speak with a registered nurse who can:
- Answer medical questions and help determine what kind of care is needed.
- Provide information about after-hours and weekend care when your office is closed, including the location of network urgent care centers or walk-in clinics.
We encourage you to tell your Amerigroup patients about this service and share with them the advantages of avoiding the emergency room when it isn’t necessary or the best alternative.
Members can reach the 24-hour Nurse HelpLine by calling the number on their Amerigroup ID card. TTY services are available for members who are deaf or hard of hearing by calling 711. Language translation services are also available.
To find a doctor, group or facility for a patient referral or specialty consultation, use our online provider search tool or the PDF referral directories on the Referrals page of this website.
