CareFirst BCBS online visits in Bethesda, MD

Ondoc accepts self-pay and major commercial insurance. Medicare and Medicaid are not accepted.

Ondoc accepts major commercial insurance. Submit your Blue Cross Blue Shield plan details with your request — because the Blues are regional, eligibility and network status are verified for your specific plan after we receive it. Ondoc's clinician panel includes board-certified prescribers licensed in Maryland, so you aren't limited by one office's calendar.

How insurance is handled
  1. You start a request and enter your CareFirst BCBS member details.
  2. After we receive the request, our team verifies eligibility and network status in our EMR.
  3. Active and in network: a licensed clinician completes the request and it is billed to CareFirst BCBS.
  4. Inactive or out of network: we send an optional $50 self-pay link and you decide whether to continue.
CareFirst BCBS Rx & prior authorization

BCBS formularies vary by state plan (Anthem, Highmark, Florida Blue, Empire, BCBS TX, and others). We check your specific plan's formulary before approving the refill.

Most BCBS plans require PA for GLP-1s, brand stimulants, and specialty drugs. We submit PAs to the correct regional Blues processor.

How Ondoc differs from a directory

On a typical "find a doctor" site, you have to call each office to ask whether they take your plan and when they can see you. With Ondoc you submit one request; a board-certified clinician licensed in Maryland reviews it, and our team sorts out the CareFirst BCBS billing question with you afterwards.
