ProvRN

Health issues dont fit neatly into a 9 to 5 schedule — and neither should your access to health information. Providence Health Plan members can call ProvRN around the clock to ask questions about their health.

This service is available exclusively to Providence Health Plan members. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911.




What to expect

When you call ProvRN, our registered nurses talk with you about your symptoms and help you figure out your next steps for care. Its always available when you need it.

Calls are addressed based on urgency. An intake specialist will ask a few initial questions, and a nurse will call you back as soon as possible if someone isnt immediately available.




When to call

Providence nurses are ready to listen to your health concern and recommend your best course of action. Do you have a sick newborn and need advice? Or maybe you're not feeling well, but youre unsure whether or not to seek medical care. Stop worrying and start dialing — call ProvRN.

ProvRN isnt only for when you're ill. We’re here to help you and your family on your journey to True Health. Call us with general health questions or to ask about a health story that ran on the evening news. Sometimes, you just need to bounce a health question off someone, and our nurses are here to listen and provide answers.




The cost of ProvRN

Its free for Providence members. Don't waste precious time and money guessing — call ProvRN 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to help you get free answers, and direct you to the care thats right for you and your family. Our nurses will let you know the best place to get care — or if you even need to see a physician. Depending on your situation, treatment options may include home care, follow-up care with your primary care provider, or a trip to immediate care or the emergency department.
