Did you know that up to 82% of patients who show up at the emergency room actually have non-urgent conditions?¹ Most individuals simply want medical advice and have no other option to turn to. The purpose of our Nurse Hotline, HouseCalls, is to provide informed treatment alternatives to employees, which result in reduced costs for employers.

SISCO Benefits Nurse Hotline, HouseCalls, provides a 24-hour dedicated registered nurse line to get immediate assistance on informed treatment alternatives. Your employees will appreciate the expert medical advice that they receive and it will help them to make

smart choices for their health care decisions. In addition to the nurse helpline, HouseCalls also provides a health information library, HealthWise member booklets, and printed materials.

What can you expect? Patients will always be instructed with advice that is in their best interest. Overall, employers will see a noticeable decline in ER and doctor visits. More individuals typically utilize self-care based on the situation and advice of the nurse. Just another example of how we bring accountability to health care.
