When you or a family member are in pain or feeling sick, we want to help you find the right care when you need it. Review our guide below to learn about your care options.
When possible, your primary care doctor (also called a PCP) should be your first call. Your doctor knows you and your health history and can help you with best next steps to start feeling better. Your primary care doctor may also be able to order services such as an x-ray, refer you to a specialist, or arrange other follow-up care if needed.
Use Primary Care for:
COVID-19/Flu
Cold, fever, sore throat
Earache
Pink eye
Respiratory infection
Sinus infection
Injuries – sports injury, sprain, strain
Skin conditions – rash, poison injury, etc.
Do you have an urgent issue? Some doctors offer after-hours care, have an on-call doctor or offer telehealth visits. Call your doctor to see what options you have.
If you do not have a PCP, use our Find a Doctor tool to find an in-network provider.
Some of our providers offer telehealth visits. Call your doctor first to see what options you have. Telehealth can be used for many common medical and mental health needs including illnesses, minor injuries, and skin conditions.
Virtual telehealth visits are covered for most of our members, subject to copay, deductible or co-insurance.
