Members

If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, the CDC recommends you stay home and separate yourself from other people in your home as much as possible.

Symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, fatigue, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting and diarrhea. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure.

Before going to a health care provider, clinic, hospital or emergency room, call ahead to describe your symptoms and how you might have been exposed to the virus. In the event of an emergency, call 9-1-1.

If you need assistance with non-emergency medical transportation for vaccination, COVID-19 testing, or for medical treatment, call 1-833-498-2262.

To apply for Medicaid or to confirm you are eligible for Medicaid, please contact your county Department of Social Services or visit the state's online tool, ePASS.
