Remove TelaDoc virtual vendor requirement for BCBS FEP members
Remove TelaDoc virtual vendor requirement for BCBS FEP members
The Issue
Please consider signing this petition to the BlueCross BlueShield CareFirst Federal Employee Plan administrators to challenge their requirement that virtual services must be rendered through TelaDoc, a private company that requires providers to credential under them (taking 120 days to complete) and accept reduced reimbursement for virtual services. This unnecessary burden adds no true value to virtual service delivery and is an impediment to care for our established patients who need continuity during this time of national crisis and uncertainty. I have a contact from CareFirst to send this to who says we need more voices to call for swift change.
