Summary
Florida Blue is launching BlueVirtualCare (powered by Amwell) as a new telemedicine option starting January 1, 2026, while Teladoc will go out-of-network for certain members. This affects virtual care access and referral patterns for general medicine, dermatology, and behavioral health services.
Action Required
By January 1, 2026: Front desk and clinical staff must update patient education materials to inform Florida Blue members about BlueVirtualCare as an alternative to Teladoc for virtual care services. Remove Teladoc from in-network virtual care options for affected Florida Blue members and direct behavioral health patients to Lucet (1-866-287-9569) as the primary behavioral health provider.
