Telemedicine

All employees covered by the ICSD insurance plan can receive care 24/7 via telemedicine. This service is provided by MDLIVE, a partner of Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. 

COVID-19 Update: Telehealth Visits Covered in Full

Normally, telemedicine visits follow the deductible and copay schedule outlined in your BCBS plan, however, in an effort to free up provider offices, urgent care centers, and hospitals and keep people home, all telehealth visits (not just those related to the coronavirus) are now covered in full for all groups in New York State for the duration of the state of emergency.
