Know if your area is a disaster or emergency area

If you live in an area that's been declared an emergency or disaster, the usual rules for your medical care may change for a short time.
Affected areas are ones where either:

• 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 users should call 1-800-462-7585.
• A governor has declared it an emergency or disaster. Visit your state government's official website to find out if your area is affected.
• The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)  has declared a public health emergency. Visit the HHS Public Health Emergency website, or call 1-800-MEDICARE to find out if your area is affected.
