Common BCBSRI member problem

BCBSRI doctor not refilling? Get a refill faxed to your pharmacy today

Your pharmacy says they faxed your Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island doctor for a refill and got nothing back. The doctor's office is closed, on vacation, or buried in messages. Your prescription runs out tomorrow. Ondoc exists for exactly this: a licensed provider reviews your refill and faxes the authorization directly to your pharmacy — no office visit required for routine maintenance meds.

BCBSRI member FAQs

Will my BCBSRI doctor know I used Ondoc?
Only if you tell them. The refill comes from a different prescriber and shows in your pharmacy history; it doesn't ping your in-network doctor.
What medications can Ondoc refill?
Most stable, non-controlled maintenance medications: blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, diabetes (non-insulin), SSRIs, birth control, and many more. Not controlled substances like Adderall, Xanax, or opioids without a video visit.
Can I just keep using Ondoc for ongoing refills?
Yes — each request is a flat $50, charged only if approved. We encourage you to keep an in-network BCBSRI doctor too, for annual exams and acute issues.
