Feeling Sick While Traveling? Virtual Care Can Help

Traveling is exciting — whether you’re taking a family vacation, attending a conference, or enjoying a weekend getaway. But getting sick while away from home can quickly put a damper on your plans. The good news? Quality care may be closer than you think.

Members of Blue Cross Blue Shield have access to convenient virtual care through MDLIVE, making it easier to get medical support no matter where life takes you.

Care Without the Waiting Room

MDLIVE offers virtual visits that allow you to connect with a board-certified doctor from your phone, tablet, or computer. Even better, MDLIVE’s E-Treatment option makes getting care simple and fast — with no phone call or live video chat required.

Here’s how it works:

1. Log in to the MDLIVE app or online portal

2. Select the E-Treatment option

3. Complete a quick symptom assessment questionnaire

4. Submit your information for review

You’ll receive a diagnosis and treatment plan from a board-certified doctor in under an hour.

Convenient Care Wherever You Are

Whether you’re dealing with allergies, cold symptoms, sinus pressure, or other common conditions, virtual care can help you get back to enjoying your trip faster.

There’s no cost to activate your MDLIVE account, and each visit is covered according to your health plan’s copay or coinsurance amount.

Take the Doctor With You

Unexpected illnesses can happen anytime, especially when traveling. Having access to virtual care gives you peace of mind and a convenient way to get the help you need — without searching for urgent care in an unfamiliar place.
