You can get emergency health care any time you need it.
Always carry your TLC card, so that in case of an emergency, doctors will know that you have TennCare and TLC.
Emergencies are times when there could be serious danger or damage to your health if you don't get medical care right away.
If you think you have an emergency, go to the nearest hospital Emergency Room (ER). If you have to you can go to a hospital that is not in the Provider Network. If you can't get there, call 911 or your local ambulance service.
If you are sure that it is an emergency, call your PCP. You can call your PCP anytime. Your PCP can help you get emergency care if you need it. BUT you DO NOT have to get an OK from anyone before you get emergency care.
