If you have been impacted by the recent storms, we encourage you to take advantage of the programs and services listed below. And if you’re having trouble getting care or your medications, please don’t hesitate to call us at the number on the back of your member ID card so we can help.
We also know many of our most vulnerable members are at risk. In response, our care teams and nurses are reaching out to these impacted members to check on them, make sure they’re safe, and see if they need anything at all. Our goal is to help them manage their health and care needs and make it easier to get necessary medications, oxygen, medical supplies, or other support due to the storm.

*Controlled substances include opioids, stimulants and other medications that can lead to dependence.
Call your doctor’s office to see if they are open, since they may still be offering virtual visits as well as in-office visits during this time. This is your best first step since they know you and your health concerns and have access to all of your medical records.
If you can’t get to your doctor, Florida Blue members can receive virtual care from Teladoc: 1-800-TELADOC (835-2362). Member cost share is based on individual benefits and may be as little as $01 for fast virtual care.
Not a member? If your community has been affected by the storm, call 1-855-225-5032 for virtual care at no cost from Teladoc.
1$0 cost share does not apply to Health Savings Account (HSA) plans. HSA plans pay deductible + coinsurance. Please refer to your health policy for specific benefits for virtual visits.
You can count on emotional support from Lucet. A bilingual 24/7 hotline is available for immediate emotional support at no extra cost for members. Call 1-833-848-1762 to speak to them if you’re experiencing feelings of stress, anxiety, trauma or grief. Callers may also receive referrals to community resources to help them with emergency services.
We encourage you to call a Florida Blue Center Community Specialist for help with community and social services like food programs, transportation services, financial and housing assistance programs, community support resources, and many other types of relief programs. We’re ready to help members and everyone in the community. Just stop by one of our centers or call 1-877-352-5830, Monday - Friday, 9am - 7pm or Saturday, 9am - 4pm, and we’ll be glad to help.
