Where to get care

Your doctor can see you when you’re sick and when you’re well. If your doctor is not available, you have options for where to get care depending on the care you need. Use our Where to Get Care chart to help you pick the right place to get care.

When your doctor is available

For most issues, your primary care physician (PCP):

  • Can give you the care you need
  • May offer early or late appointments, so you don’t miss work

A visit with your PCP may be appropriate for a number of health concerns, including:

  • Allergies
  • Bug bites
  • Bumps, cuts, and scrapes
  • Ear pain
  • Flu
  • Minor headaches, sprains, and strains
  • And more

If you don’t have a PCP, you can pick one. To find a PCP near your home or workplace:

To change your PCP, call Enrollee Services at 800-444-9137 (TTY: 711), Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., Eastern time.

Virtual care

Your PCP may be able to offer you a virtual care (telehealth) visit.

Humana Healthy Horizons® in Kentucky enrollees can have virtual care visits with their doctors. Ask your doctor about the option of a virtual care visit:

  • Before, during, or after regular office hours
  • On the weekend
  • If you are concerned about having an in-person visit

Virtual care visits are a great way to stay connected with your doctor without leaving your home.

Can’t see your doctor immediately? You can connect with board-certified doctors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, via virtual visits with MDLIVE®.

Emergencies

An emergency is a sudden, serious situation that demands immediate action.

Go to an emergency room (ER) or dial 911 if you have a sudden, serious situation:

  • That demands immediate attention, such as uncontrolled bleeding, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or stroke
  • That may represent a threat to your life or limb, such as partial or total amputation of a limb, possible broken bones, possible poisoning, or suicidal feelings

If you go to the ER, please:

  • Call us at 800-444-9137 (TTY: 711) after you are discharged
  • Tell your doctor about your ER visit
