__________________________________________________________________________
The Minnesota Department of Health has developed a special telephone service called the Minnesota FluLine.
Minnesota FluLine is intended to offer support and treatment options for people with
possible symptoms of influenza.
Minnesotans with flu symptoms can call toll-free line at 1-866-259-4655
Professionals will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. People with limited English skills will be connected with an interpreter. There is no charge for the call.
Callers with flu symptoms will be connected with a participating nurse at MN FluLine, or a nurse at a triage line operated by their own provider network or health plan. The nurses will evaluate the health concerns of callers and discuss treatment options, using consistent criteria to determine which treatment option is most appropriate for each individual.
