no more phone tag with your doctors
 Tired of playing phone tag with your doctor’s office? Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida is the first health plan in the state to offer you totally secure and confidential Internet access to your doctors for non-urgent medical conditions. Hundreds of doctors already are participating. We’re working with RelayHealth® to bring you this e–Medicine service.

If your doctor’s office is participating, you can schedule or change an appointment, ask a simple question, get a suggestion for a specialist, receive lab and test results, request medication refills and receive targeted preventive care reminders when it’s most convenient for you—any time of the day or night.

Many participating doctors also offer online medical consultations, or webVisits®. As a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida Medicare supplement member, you are eligible for such consultations. However, because this is not yet covered by Medicare Part B, it is not a covered service under your Medicare supplement policy.

All other e–Medicine services, however, are available to you free of charge.

To sign up, go to our website, www.bcbsfl.com, and click on Members, then Products, Plans & Services and e–Medicine. And, if your doctor isn’t offering e–Medicine services, ask him or her to consider doing so as a convenience to patients.
