I have insurance, is Blueberry still a good option for my family?

Absolutely! Most families use Blueberry in addition to their insurance (and we recommend it). Even with good insurance, Blueberry can save families hundreds in copays and fees.

My insurance already has telemedicine, should I still join Blueberry?

Telemedicine has been added to many insurance plans over the last 2 years. However when it comes to pediatric care, there are a lot of issues that make Blueberry a better option:

Telemedicine visits with insurance often have high copays involved, which you can avoid with a Blueberry membership (some telemedicine visits can cost up to $150 if you haven't hit your deductible).
Your insurance company's telemedicine may not be able to treat a lot of childhood illnesses (for example, ear infections) because they don't hire board-certified Pediatricians to provide care and don't use at-home medical devices. You'll end up paying for both the telemedicine visit and an urgent care visit afterwards.
Your insurance company's telemedicine provider may still have long waits (1-2 hours) or may not even be available 24/7. Blueberry allows you to quickly text Board-Certified Pediatricians and get care 24/7 within 1 hour guaranteed.

Many families try Blueberry and find that not only provides better peace of mind, but also saves them money compared to their insurance company's telemedicine option.

Are there any copays or surprise fees when I talk to pediatricians?

Nope! Once a Blueberry member there are no copays or surprise fees - use Blueberry as often as you'd like (even if you just need to confirm nothing's wrong).

Can Blueberry write school notes or absence notes?

Yes! After your child is seen by one of our Pediatricians, we are able to write doctors notes and absence notes as medically appropriate.

Can I cancel my Blueberry membership?

While we would be sad to see you go, you can easily cancel your membership online at any time via your account page. There are no complicated hoops to jump through or phone calls you have to make.

Can Blueberry prescribe medications like antibiotics?

Yes, when deemed medically necessary Blueberry Pediatricians are able to write prescriptions and send them to your pharmacy of choice.

If your child has a Medicaid-based health insurance plan, it may not cover the cost of prescriptions from our doctors. This is because Medicaid only covers prescriptions from "in-network" physicians.

Florida and Illinois Medicaid plans will cover the cost of prescriptions from our doctors.
