Online Doctor That Accepts Anthem Blue Cross in California

Yes, for Anthem Blue Cross Commercial PPO, Commercial Indemnity, and Medicare PPO plans, effective September 23, 2026. Visits on or after that date are billed to Anthem as in-network. The treating physician is Dr. Parth Bhavsar, MD (NPI 1104323203).

Not in-network. HMO plans are not part of the California agreement, and most HMOs require care through your assigned medical group. You can still book a $79 self-pay visit with the same physician.

No. They are two separate companies. Anthem Blue Cross holds the Blue Cross license in California and Blue Shield of California holds the Blue Shield license. TeleDirectMD is contracted with Anthem Blue Cross only.

Individual and family plans, including Covered California plans, often use narrower networks than employer PPO plans. Before booking, call the member services number on your card and ask whether TeleDirectMD (NPI 1104323203) is in-network for your plan. If it isn't, the $79 self-pay visit is available.

No. Anthem Blue Cross Medi-Cal plans are not included. TeleDirectMD does not accept Medi-Cal or any Medicaid plan.

Your plan's normal telehealth or office-visit cost-sharing: a copay, or coinsurance if you haven't met your deductible. Check the Sydney Health app or anthem.com/ca for your exact amount. For fully insured plans, California's telehealth parity law (Health and Safety Code §1374.14 and Insurance Code §10123.855) requires telehealth to be covered on the same basis as in-person care. Self-funded employer plans follow federal rules and the employer's plan design.

It may. Out-of-state Blue plan members are generally processed through the local Blue plan, but network access depends on your home plan. Call the number on the back of your card before booking.
