What to Do in an Emergency

Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital/emergency facility if you think you need emergency care. We have free interpreter services for people who do not speak English. You can call 911 for help in getting to the hospital emergency room. If you receive emergency services, call your doctor to schedule a follow up visit as soon as possible. Please call us and let us know of the emergency care you received. An emergency is a condition in which you think you have a serious medical condition, or not getting medical care right away will be a threat to your life, limb or sight.

  • Not telling the truth about a medical condition to get medical treatment.
  • Letting someone else use a Medicaid Dental ID.
  • Using someone else’s Medicaid Dental ID.
  • Not telling the truth about the amount of money or resources he or she has to get benefits.
