It’s midnight, you are in Guatemala and someone in your family is not feeling well. You don’t think it is too serious, but you are not sure and would like some guidance. Who are you going call?
If you are still on a US health plan than there may be someone who can help. Many plans offer a free 24-Hour “Dial-a-Nurse” service to their customers. You simply call a designated number, identify yourself through your membership and you are soon talking to a registered Nurse. We have used this service to help us determine if a doctor’s visit is needed and each time found it helpful. The Nurses all appear to be experienced vs. those that may have recently graduated from nursing school. So the information is balanced and reasonable.
Check the website of your provider to see what they offer. Our provider is Blue Cross Blue Shield and their service is described in more detail here https://www.bluecrossma.com/wps/portal/members/tools-resources/member-care-resources/24-hour-nurse-line/
