AFTER HOURS INFORMATION
For Students with Aetna Student Health Insurance
Informed Health Line provides 24-hour telephone access to registered nurses who can provide information on a variety of health topics. You can get answers to your health questions along with recommendations on the best course of action. This will vary from recommending a trip to the ER to helping you understand your health issue in order to decide on a course of action. Questions on medications and treatments are answered but the nurses cannot diagnose, prescribe, or give medical advice. You will receive help in formulating and prioritizing questions to ask your doctor on your next visit. Your call is strictly confidential. Call 1-800-556-1555 to reach Informed Health Line.

In the event of life-threatening emergencies such as severe bleeding or heart attack, immediately call 911 for an ambulance. Make sure you give clear directions about where the victim is located. 911 calls from a cell phone do not give the 911 operator your location. After you have called for the ambulance, call the TCU Police (817-257-7777) so that an officer can guide the ambulance and investigate the incident. Remember the ambulance driver will not be as familiar with the campus as you are.
