Access Line (HAL)

(Baltimore area and international calls)
The Hopkins Access Line (HAL) is a consultation
and referral service provided by Johns Hopkins Medicine. HAL's toll-free
number—operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week—was created in response
to the growing needs of physicians to reach Hopkins physicians quickly.
HAL gives practicing physicians and faculty the opportunity to assist
one another in the diagnosis and care of patients.
As a physician, your call will be received
by a HAL service representative. Our representatives have access to Hopkins
physicians' schedules, on-call lists, and telephone and pager numbers—all
the numbers needed to reach the physician promptly. If you wish to speak
with a specific physician and he or she is unavailable, the representative
will direct you to an available specialist or arrange for the requested
physician to return your call.
The HAL service is for physicians only.
If you are not a physician and wish to request an appointment yourself,
please use our online appointment request form. You may also call our
appointment service lines: 410-955-5464 or 410-735-HUSA when making calls from
within the US; and +01-410-614-4334 for calls
from outside the United States.
HAL representatives are responsible for
every call being completed to physicians' satisfaction. They are available
to help you with any needed arrangements. If you are a physician and your
patient requires transportation, HAL representatives can help make the
necessary arrangements through Johns Hopkins Lifeline. Hopkins Lifeline
coordinates and transports patients and families requiring sedans or cabs,
paratransit vehicles, ambulance and air-medical transports from around
the corner or around the world. Our staff provides assistance in obtaining
the appropriate level of care and mode of transport.
Through HAL, physicians also may request
information about Hopkins seminars or Continuing Medical Education programs.
HAL representatives have current lecture listings and can facilitate physicians'
registration.
For assistance, please call 1-800-765-5447
(Continental United States) 410-955-9444 (Baltimore area and international
calls) or contact us at jhmcares@jhmi.edu.
