Use the Provider Search to find an Urgent Care location near you by clicking on the link, selecting your plan type, and choosing Urgent Care from the Service Type drop-down menu.
Out-of-network urgent care services
If it is necessary to receive urgent care services outside of the VHP service area and it is during VHP business hours (M–F, 9:00 am–5:00 pm), please call Member Services at (888) 421-8444 (toll-free). A Member Services Representative can assist you by either directing your call to a VHP nurse for advice and/or by obtaining approval to seek services with an out-of-network urgent care provider.
If after business hours, please call our 24/7 Nurse Advice Line and they can direct you to the closest medical facility. When seeking services, present your VHP ID card as well as another form of photo ID.
Except in the case of an urgent medical need or emergency services, prescriptions must be filled at a VHP Network Pharmacy location unless pre-authorized. Find a nearby VHP Network Pharmacy location near you by going to the Provider Search, selecting your plan type, and choosing Urgent Care from the Service Type drop-down menu.
All follow-up care for out-of-network urgent care services must be provided by your VHP PCP unless pre-authorized by Valley Health Plan.
