If you need emergency care, call 911 or seek help from any doctor or hospital immediately.
Sometimes it's easy to know when you should go to an emergency room (ER), such as when you have severe chest pain or unstoppable bleeding. At other times, it's less clear. Where do you go when you have an ear infection, or are generally not feeling well?
The emergency room is always an option, but it can be an expensive one. You have choices for receiving in-network care that work with your schedule and give you access to the kind of care you need. Know when to use each for non-emergency treatment.
