Questions you may have
Which pharmacy or drug store do I use?
If you don’t know how to fill prescriptions, such as which pharmacies to use, contact your health plan for more information.
What if I need care after hours?
Your health plan has a toll-free number you can call to speak to a nurse 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The phone number is also listed in your health plan booklet.
What if I have an emergency?
If you have a sudden or severe health problem that you think is an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest location where emergency providers can help you. As soon as possible afterward, call your health plan and let them know that you had an emergency and where you received care.
If you need urgent care, but your life is not in danger, call your primary care provider, your health plan, or the 24-hour nurse’s line.
How do I get dental care?
You get dental care from a provider who accepts Apple Health coverage without a managed care plan (also known as fee-for-service). Visit DentistLink.org to find a dentist that accepts Apple Health. See an overview of the services covered under Apple Health at Dental services.
