BCBSRI telehealth PCP — check current online appointment times
If the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island directory does not show a suitable appointment, check current Ondoc payer status and available times. Ondoc runs online visits at a $50 self-pay rate (HSA/FSA accepted), or you can select BCBSRI during discovery.

BCBSRI member FAQs
- What can a $50 online visit handle?
- Refill renewals, simple acute issues (UTI, sinus infection, pink eye, mild rashes), birth control prescriptions, and routine lab orders. Not appropriate for emergencies. Ondoc has no general controlled-medication pathway (specific programs through participating clinicians are the exception).
- Can I put this visit through my BCBSRI plan?
- Select BCBSRI during discovery to see current payer status before patient details. Medicaid is not accepted.
- Do I need to switch primary care doctors?
- No — Ondoc is a bridge, not a replacement. Keep your BCBSRI PCP search going; use us when you need care faster than the in-network calendar allows.

Empty directories and months-long waitlists are a system problem, not a personal one. Learn more about ghost networks and your rights under the federal No Surprises Act.
