Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) announced that it will cover virtual doctor visits, including those done by phone, the same as face-to-face visits according to Under 65 member’s health plan guidelines. This is an expansion of the telehealth benefits Blue Cross NC has previously offered. Blue Cross NC previously required video for virtual care visits. Covering audio-only visits will allow more people to access care at home. This change in coverage is intended to help slow the spread of COVID-19 by limiting exposure, mitigating the surge of demand on our healthcare system and helping protect health professionals on the front lines.
