BlueCare 12+

This was my first time using Blue Care. My son has been sick for the last 3 weeks with the Flu, Croup Virus, and now Strep Throat. I started a low-grade fever today with some fatigue. I am full time student and single mom, so I do not want to get sick. I was hoping to get something to prevent further illness. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do. I got bounced around from doctors on Blue Care who said I needed to see a pediatrician; I’m sure they just read about my son and not me, I’m 22. So after entering my information several times, I was finally connected to someone.
Overall, the app and the doctors seem to be well within guidelines and it is much more convenient to use Blue Care than to physically go see a doctor. It was just irritating having to wait on several doctors to be seen. However, I would 100% recommended Blue Care. Dr on Demand is a great resource as well, but they don’t take my insurance.

Since this is fairly new, at least to me it is, I assumed there would be glitches, take a long time, and more of a headache than just going to the Dr. My son just had his first online visit and it went surprisingly awesome! The Dr. was great, there were no glitches, and it took no time at all. It took 35-40 mins from start to finish. This includes the time it took me to download the app, enter all of my information and my two son’s information, start the online check-in, talk to the Dr. and receive the school excuse and prescription. I don’t foresee myself sitting in a waiting any time soon.

With just a few minutes of setting up your profile with your medical info, you are ready to go! The doc comes on video typically within 5 minutes or less every time I’ve used it. They are nice and casual but still extremely professional. If you have medical questions or need a prescription that doesn’t require an in person exam, these guys have you covered! The visit with the doc is FAST. Even with a bit of chit chat you are done in less than five minutes. This service is AWESOME!
