Limited services clinics (LSCs)
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts' members have the option to obtain non-urgent medical care without an appointment for a limited set of services, including flu shots and treatment for colds and ear infections. These clinics, typically located in certain pharmacies around the state, can offer a more efficient setting for these types of care than a hospital emergency room, and can be more convenient than many doctors' offices because they are open during evening and weekend hours.
Telehealth
When you have urgent health concerns and an in-person visit is not convenient, Telehealth can be an effective alternative to face-to-face visits. You can have brief real-time video visits with a doctor or therapist using your computer, smartphone or tablet for a range of issues. With Telehealth care, doctors or therapists can review patient history, answer questions, and diagnose, treat, and even prescribe medication at their discretion.
