Which Florida Blue plans are in-network with TeleDirectMD?

TeleDirectMD is in-network with Florida Blue's commercial plans only: BlueOptions PPO, BlueSelect PPO, BlueChoice PPO, BlueCare HMO, and Florida Blue's small-group and individual marketplace HMO/PPO products. Florida Blue Medicare Advantage (BlueMedicare HMO/PPO), Florida Blue Medicaid, Florida Blue State Group (state employee plan), and the Federal Employee Program (FEP) are not in-network.

What is the difference between Florida Blue and BlueCross BlueShield Federal (FEP)?

Florida Blue is the local BCBS affiliate that issues commercial plans to Florida residents. The Federal Employee Program (FEP / 'BCBS Federal', card prefix 'R') is a separate national program for federal employees, administered by the BCBS Association — it is not in-network at TeleDirectMD even when the cardholder lives in Florida. Look at your member ID prefix: 'XJG', 'XGJ', 'XOJ', or 'YPF' is typically commercial Florida Blue; 'R' is FEP.

I have Florida Blue Medicare Advantage (BlueMedicare) — can I still see a TeleDirectMD physician?

Yes, as a $79 self-pay patient. We are not in-network for Florida Blue Medicare Advantage, but the $79 flat fee is HSA/FSA eligible and there is no copay, deductible, or surprise bill.

My Florida Blue plan card says 'State Group' — am I covered?

No. Florida Blue State Group (the Florida state employees / retirees plan) runs through a separate state-administered contract and is not in-network at TeleDirectMD. Self-pay $79 visits remain available.

What's my Florida Blue copay for a telehealth visit?

Most Florida Blue commercial PPO/HMO plans apply a $0–$30 telehealth copay (often lower than the in-person specialist copay). High-deductible health plans (HDHP) may apply the full contracted rate (~$110–$130) toward the deductible until met. Log into floridablue.com or the Florida Blue app to verify.

Will Florida Blue pharmacy benefits cover my prescription?

Yes. The visit and the prescription are separately billed — Florida Blue's pharmacy benefit (Prime Therapeutics for most commercial plans) applies when the e-prescription is filled at your pharmacy. Generic medications on Florida Blue's standard formulary are typically $0–$10.

Florida Blue out-of-state members visiting Florida — am I covered?

BlueCard PPO host processing applies. If you have a BCBS plan from another state and you're physically located in Florida at the time of the visit, Florida Blue acts as the host plan and processes the claim through BlueCard. Call your home plan's member services to confirm BlueCard PPO is active.
