BlueChoice HealthPlan of South Carolina Expands Access to Telehealth Benefits!

As we continue to monitor the spread of COVID-19, we want to make you aware of expanded telehealth options available to our members. With telehealth, you can consult with a health care provider without leaving your home. This can help minimize the spread of illness.

Telehealth lets you consult with a health care provider by phone or through video chats on your computer, smartphone or other device. The doctor will advise if you should seek in-person medical help or if you can treat your symptoms at home. Doctors can even prescribe medicine through telehealth, if needed.
