Is this an emergency?

If you reasonably think you have an emergency,  go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.  An emergency threatens your life, limb, or eyesight. 

If you have a TRICARE Prime plan, you want to get in touch with your primary care manager within 24 hours, or the next business day after you receive care.

Examples of emergencies include:

• Severe bleeding
• Spinal cord or back injury
• Chest pain
• Severe eye injury
• Broken bone
• Inability to breathe

Urgent Care

Urgent care is care you need for a non-emergency illness or injury. If your concern occurs during our business hours call (732-866-2301/2303) as we always have same day appointments!  Urgent care is generally required within 24 hours.

You typically need urgent care to treat a condition that: 

• Doesn’t threaten life, limb or eyesight.
• Needs attention before it becomes a serious risk to health.
• Examples may include things like a high fever, sprained ankle or a cut requiring stitches.
