If you need to see your PCP urgently, you can usually secure a same-day appointment with a
primary care doctor in Harlem who accepts BlueCross HMO. To make the process easier and give yourself the best chance to get a last-minute appointment, use strategies that include:
- Calling early. Morning calls improve your chances of finding a same-day appointment.
- Being flexible. Mid-morning or late afternoon slots are often the easiest to book.
- Joining a wait list. Add your name for same-day cancellations and stay ready.
You may also be offered an online video visit with a PCP. Your BlueCross HMO plan covers video visits with in-network primary care doctors. You can use telehealth video visits for various services, including:
- General consultations
- Prescription renewals
- Chronic condition management
- Preventive care
- A slight fever
- Coughs and colds
While certain issues require in-person care, telehealth is an effective option for many routine and follow-up needs. To ensure your video visit goes smoothly, verify platform requirements to ensure you have the necessary equipment and internet connection.
