Getting Care In A Disaster Or Emergency, Medicate Update

The rules for getting care may change for a short time in areas where one of these has happened:

*The President has declared it an emergency or disaster.  Visit the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, or call 1-800-621-FEMA (1-800-621-3362) to see if your area is affected (TTY 1-800-462-7585).

*A governor has declared it an emergency or disaster.  Visit your state government's website to find out if your area is affected.
