When you’re not feeling well, the last thing you want to do is wait for an appointment or drive to an urgent care clinic. With virtual medicine, you can stay in the comfort of your home and seek medical advice any time of day or night. Virtual medicine is also a great option when you’re traveling and not able to see your regular doctor. The provider of your virtual medicine services depends on the medical plan you choose.
If you’re enrolled in a BCBS medical plan, telehealth consultation services are available through Teladoc. Teladoc gives you 24/7/365 access to board-certified physicians over the phone or through live video right from your mobile device or computer. Teladoc physicians can provide fast, convenient diagnosis and treatment for many common conditions. They can even write you a prescription, according to the regulatory guidelines of your state.
Turn to Teladoc for non-emergency medical problems like cold and flu symptoms, bronchitis, allergies, sinus problems, ear infections, and more. Get started by visiting the BCBS website and clicking on the Teladoc link to complete your online profile. Then, you’ll be ready to get the care you need quickly when you’re sick.
After you’ve set up your profile, just make an appointment online anytime through the Teladoc website. Your cost for a Teladoc visit depends on your medical plan, and will range from $10 to $55.
If you’re enrolled in the Kaiser HMO, you have 24/7 access to a number of virtual medicine options.
