Emergency Coverage. In an emergency, covered members should always go to the nearest appropriate medical facility; your benefits will not be reduced if you go to a Non Network Hospital in an emergency.
Emergency Coverage. Our practice provides twenty-four hour emergency telephone coverage to current clients. Instructions for accessing emergency services are located in the Green House Group telephone greeting and each therapist’s voice mail. Every effort will be made to locate your personal therapist should this need occur. However, given the timing of that call your particular therapist may not be immediately available - at which point our on-call clinician is available to provide immediate assistance. Information from that contact would then be shared with your therapist for discussion and follow up. Under emergency conditions and at your discretion, you should also consider accessing community resources such as calling 911 and/ or going to the Emergency Room at the closest hospital.

Emergency Coverage. Internal Medicine Emergency understaffing, for the purpose of this Agreement, shall be limited to illness, injury or like-caused absence of regularly scheduled House Officer, including leaves of absence and dismissal. When patient care responsibilities are unusually difficult or prolonged or if unexpected circumstances create House Officer fatigue sufficient to jeopardize patient care, emergency coverage may also be invoked. There shall be a pre-arranged rotating schedule of House Officers available to fill in during emergency absences according to level of training. A PGY 3 may substitute for a PGY 2 and a PGY 2 may substitute for a PGY 3.
