Blue CareOnDemand
BCBS of SC and BlueChoice HealthPlan SC members can see a doctor when and where they want on a phone or tablet. It’s the easy, fast way to get health care 24/7 with no appointment. Choose doctors who are U.S. board certified with an average of 10-15 years in practice, with many in S.C.
SAFE AND EASY
Use a credit card for an easy, low-cost payment based on your BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina or BlueChoice HealthPlan insurance benefits. Telehealth through Blue CareOnDemand is also safe and secure, with your privacy as our priority. Your visit with a Blue CareOnDemand doctor complies with HIPAA. Your entire telemedicine visit and credit card transaction is secure, and your personal information is protected.
URGENT CARE
Don’t wait until a doctor’s office is open or can “fit you in.” Choose the time and place that works for you. Use Blue CareOnDemand for many of the same reasons that would normally send you to a clinic or doctor’s office — but without the hassles of travel time, crowded waiting rooms and restrictive office hours:
· Fever
· Sore throat
· Cough
· Flu, cold
· Bronchitis
· Sinus infection
· Respiratory infection
· Urinary tract infection
· Vomiting, diarrhea
· Stomach ache
· Pinkeye
· Sprains and strains
· Headache
Blue CareOnDemand doctors will access your symptoms using live video and audio chat. These virtual office visits allow the doctor to interact with you to diagnose your illness or injury, suggest follow-up and even prescribe medicine, when appropriate.
HIGH PRAISE, HIGH QUALITY
Blue CareOnDemand uses a platform created by doctors that was named the most popular consumer telehealth app worldwide in 2014, according to App Annie, and the first telehealth service awarded accreditation by The American Telemedicine Association.
