πŸ“ž Mercy On Call – New After-Hours Process

July 22, 2025 by Deidre Mings

Effective immediately, the Mercy On Call line is updating its after-hours process to improve your experience.

Instead of being placed on hold, callers will now be directed to leave a voicemail with their name and date of birth. An on-call nurse will return the call within 5–7 minutes, after logging into Epic and reviewing the patient’s chart.

This change is designed to:

βœ… Reduce hold times

βœ… Give nurses quick access to your medical history

βœ… Improve the quality and efficiency of the support you receive

Knowing how to navigate your healthcare options is keyβ€”whether you’re calling the nurse line or visiting a provider. For more tips on when to choose urgent care, your primary care provider, or the ER, check out our earlier post:

By understanding your options and using resources like Mercy On Call, you can get the right care at the right time.
