You have healthcare needs. We have doctors close to home. 

Welcome to the Ambetter Select Plan

   

Getting Started with the Ambetter Select Plan

We built the Ambetter Select Plan to provide you with in-person care that starts with the Select provider network. You can choose your own doctors within the Select network — and you don’t need referrals. You can search providers on the Ambetter Guide, just be sure to select the correct state, plan year and the SELECT network before searching.

  • Wellness and sick visits
  • Prescriptions 
  • Lab tests 
  • Imaging services, like X-rays, ultrasounds or CT scans

Where to go for care with the Ambetter Select Plan

With Ambetter of Tennessee, you have many options to support your physical and mental health. If your injury is minor and not life threatening (like a sprain or a cold), your first choice should be to call your Primary Care Provider (PCP). If you can’t wait for an appointment with your PCP, consider one of the options below. Have a question about your prescriptions, refills, over-the-counter medicine, or side effects? Your local pharmacist also can help you at no cost over the phone or in person. 

Virtual 24/7 Care*

Virtual 24/7 Care gives you easy access to care for non-emergency issues. You can get medical advice, a diagnosis or a prescription using your mobile phone, tablet or computer. With 24-hour access, you can choose to receive immediate care or schedule an appointment that fits in your schedule. Virtual 24/7 Care is like a PCP and treats things like cold, flu, fever, respiratory infections, pink eye, anxiety, depression, and medication or refills. Before you start using Virtual 24/7 Care, you will need to set up your account at member.teladoc.com/ambetter.html.

24/7 Nurse Advice Line

Not sure where to go for care? Call our 24-hour nurse advice line at 1-833-709-4735 (Relay 711). It is a cost-free service connecting you to a registered nurse who can help you find a doctor or learn where to go for care. They can help answer health questions including what to do for a sick child and whether you should go to the ER or see your PCP.

Urgent Care 

Urgent Care is for when you have an injury or illness that must be treated within 24 to 72 hours and is not life threatening. Go to an Urgent Care Clinic if you need care and your PCP is unable to see you and you want to receive in-person care. You do not need an appointment to be seen. Consider Urgent Care for small wounds, simple sprains and broken bones, ear infections, and urinary tract infections.  

Be sure to choose an in-network urgent care center to save on costs. Use the Ambetter Guide to find an urgent care near you. 

Emergency Room (ER)

If you have a life-threatening injury or illness, do not wait! Call 911 or go directly to the ER. A medical emergency is a sudden illness or condition that could result in serious harm to you and needs care right away. For example, bleeding that will not stop, severe pain, chemical poisoning, drug overdose or thoughts of harming yourself or others. Choose other care options if your injury is minor to maximize your benefits and lower your costs. Consider all your options before going to the ER.
