Information and suggestions regarding Emergency Services at hospitals:

If it is a true emergency, such as chest pain, profuse bleeding, inability to breath, broken bones, severe allergic reactions, or any other illness or injury that is life-threatening. The emergency room is where you need to be. If it is life-threatening, please call 911.
If you are transported to a hospital by ambulance, you will be charged. This is not a free service of the community.
Length of ER visits can vary from a minimum of 2 hours, up to 6 - 8 hours. If there is an optional site, such as a walk-in clinic for non-emergencies, you might want to consider visiting them. This will allow the doctors and nurses to concentrate on the clients who have life-threatening issues.
Have your health insurance card with you, and know what services your insurance provides.
If you do not have insurance, the visit will not be free. The hospital will bill you for your visit. Emergency room visits are very expensive.
There is a hospital that will accept persons without health insurance - Nashville General Hospital at Meharry University, 1818 Albion Street, Nashville, TN 37208....www.nashvilleha.org Emergency Admitting Department: 615.341.4110. Please check their website for additional information.
