Make MDLIVE Your Summer Travel Companion
There’s never a good time to get sick, and it’s impossible to predict when it will happen—even while on vacation. If your summer travel plans include a trip within the U.S., remember to use MDLIVE® for a non-emergency condition.
The doctor is always in with MDLIVE, an on-demand health care service included with the BCBSTX medical plans. Wherever you are, you can talk to a board-certified doctor in 15 minutes via secure video, MDLIVE app or interactive phone, easily and affordably.
Medical consultations are $40 and count toward your medical plan’s in-network deductible. Behavioral therapy consultations are $40 for PPO plan members. For HSA Plan members, consultation costs range from $80 to $175 until the plan deductible is met. After the deductible is met, members pay 15% of the consultation cost.
Pre-trip checklist
- Activate your MDLIVE account BEFORE you leave on vacation, if you don’t already have one. Watch a short video to learn how.
- Download the mobile app. Select Activate Benefit Here, under Employer or Insurance Benefits. You’ll be asked to enter your BCBSTX member ID number, which starts with BMY.
