Transition to 5-Digit Phone Extensions

Effective Monday, November 5, 2018, the VA Maryland Health Care System will transition from 4-digit phone extensions to 5-digit extensions. The use of 5-digit extensions is required because we are running out of 4-digit extensions and will not be able to add new phone numbers without this change. Here is what this will mean for you:

When calling the Baltimore & Loch Raven VA Medical Centers and the Baltimore VA Annex:

  • Dial “5” plus the old 4-digit extension after calling the main number
  • For example – 410-605-7000, “5” plus old 4-digit extension

When calling the Perry Point VA Medical Center:

  • Dial “2” plus the old 4-digit extension after calling the main number
  • For example – 410-642-2411, “2” plus old 4-digit extension

Outside callers will still dial the 10-digit main numbers for Baltimore/Loch Raven & Perry Point:

  • Baltimore & Loch Raven – 410-605-7000
  • Perry Point – 410-642-2411

Outside callers will still dial the 10-digit number for direct dial lines (i.e., Appointments – 410-605-7333; Prescriptions – 410-605-7395).

Outside callers dialing our 800 numbers will need to use the 5-digit extension, even for direct dial lines:

  • Baltimore & Loch Raven – 800-463-6295, “5” plus old 4-digit extension
  • Perry Point – 800-949-1003, “2” plus old 4-digit extension

Thank you for your support and cooperation during our transition from 4-digit to 5-digit phone extensions effective Monday, November 5, 2018!
