WHA strives to provide our members with innovative ways to support optimal health and lead healthy lifestyles.
Through Optum's Health Portal, you have 24/7 access to interactive health tools and trackers. You also have access to registered nurses through a nurse advice line.
WHA provides 24/7 access to a nurse advice line staffed with registered nurses through NurseLine. You can speak directly with a nurse at 877.793.3655 (currently, option 5). Hearing-impaired participants dial in by calling 711, then the toll-free number, 877.793.3655. It rings into our nurse advice line with a slight delay.

Starting on January 1, 2024, we will have a new Nurse Advice phone number and service that our members can reach at any time day or night.

This is particularly helpful for when you need medical advice about a health issue, or have questions about a health concern, or feeling sick (or you are injured and unsure what to do). Through our confidential nurse advice line, members may talk with a registered nurse who can evaluate symptoms, offer advice, assess care and treatment options, and assist in determining whether to seek urgent or emergency care from a nearby network facility.
