VA Important Numbers and Locations

Tele-Emergency Care: 1-800-698-2411
For Veterans enrolled in VA health care, VA Health Connect offers 24/7 virtual care—including tele-emergency care. Depending on the need, a provider can evaluate you over the phone or video and recommend treatment or advise where and when you should go if in-person care is needed.
If you believe your life or health are in danger or if you are experiencing a suicidal crisis, call 911 or report to the nearest emergency department right away.

72 Hour Notification: 1-844-724-7842
During a medical or mental health emergency, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) encourages Veterans to seek immediate medical attention without delay. Veterans do not need to check with VA before calling for an ambulance or going to an emergency department. In most instances eligible Veterans are able to receive VA authorized emergency care at an in-network facility if VA is notified of the emergent event within 72 hours of the start of care.
