Getting sick is never convenient, but telehealth visits make medical care more accessible. You can have a visit in minutes using your computer, tablet or smartphone. If your regular health care provider offers telehealth visits, use their services. If not, BCBSND has another option for you through our partnership with Amwell.
COVID-19 UPDATE: Traditionally, telehealth is offered only under certain plans. However, during the pandemic, BCBSND is offering telehealth to all members. Cost sharing may also be waived for some services. Call the phone number on the back of your BCBSND member card to learn more about your benefits.
You have two options to get care
Option 1
Use your own provider’s telehealth services
Many providers or health care systems are providing telehealth services.
Visit their website for sign-in and visit instructions or contact them to begin care.
Option 2
BCBSND/Amwell telehealth service
Amwell doctors are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In just minutes you can create an account and be online with a doctor.
Amwell telehealth isn’t meant to replace your primary care provider (PCP). It is designed to reduce non-emergency and walk-in clinic visits when your PCP isn’t available.
