What is an "emergency"?
Most health insurance companies define a medical emergency as:
- sudden,
- unexpected, and
- posing an immediate threat to life, limb, or body function.
Use good judgement, and be aware that if the condition is not an emergency insurance may not cover a visit to the ER. See above regarding seeking non-emergency care.
Note: Check with your insurance carrier to see how these services are covered. Payment may be your responsibility.
