Our telehealth services bring the doctor to you
Now you can consult with medical practitioners and professional caregivers from the comfort of your home or anywhere else.
Stay home. Stay healthy.
Sticking closer to home these days? This season even the common cold can cause concern. So, Bright HealthCare is offering you an expanded selection of telehealth services available through your primary care providers and our partnership with NormanMD.
These one-on-one internet and telephone consultations are a great alternative to urgent care or same-day doctor visits, and available for a wide variety of needs – including COVID-19 assessments, cold or flu symptoms, digestive ailments or urinary tract infections, acne or other skin conditions, anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns.*

*All telehealth services (online and virtual care) obtained in connection with COVID-19 testing and diagnosis are now covered at no cost to our members. Telehealth visits for concerns other than COVID-19 are covered at the same rates as regular doctor visits. Testing for other purposes, such as return to work and checking one’s antibody levels, are not covered. If you choose to use a telehealth provider other than Doctor On Demand you may be required to pay up front and submit a claim to be reimbursed by Bright HealthCare.
Bright HealthCare has partnered with Doctor On Demand to provide telehealth services to our members in a way that complies with our Certificates of Coverage and applicable state law. Doctor On Demand provides many telehealth and in-person services, but you do not have to use Doctor On Demand for your telehealth services. You may choose any in-network provider that offers telehealth services. Examples of in-network providers are providers that we contract with to accept Bright HealthCare insurance, such as your primary care provider, treating specialist, or organizations that provide medical care, such as a clinic or health facility.
Before you see an out-of-network provider for in-person or telehealth services, check the coverage guidelines in your Certificate of Coverage. There, you can read about how your costs and balance billing protections change when you use an out-of-network provider instead of an in-network provider.
