Stay on top of your health without the time or travel of an in-person visit for non-emergency situations.
Telehealth is not the right option in a life-threatening situation, such as a stroke, heart attack, or allergic reaction. Call 911 if you're having a medical emergency or 988 for emergency mental health support.
Telehealth makes it easy to get convenient, high-quality care from home using your computer or phone. It's designed to help you stay on top of your health without the time or travel of an in-person visit.
It's a good care option when it's not an emergency and you don't need to take tests or have surgery. Some common uses for telehealth include:
- Non-emergency routine care for minor illnesses like colds or for managing your medication
- Chronic condition management to monitor health issues like diabetes, hypertension, and asthma
- Mental health support through counseling, therapy, or psychiatry appointments
- Follow-up care after an in-person appointment
Many doctors' offices offer telehealth appointments. Be sure to ask if you can see them through telehealth during their regular business hours.
In addition to telehealth options with your primary care doctor, many Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) members have access to Teladoc Health®.
