If I'm temporarily traveling or away from Pennsylvania, can I still have an online session with my provider?

Due to medical licensing requirements, your Pennsylvania-licensed provider can only provide care when you're physically located in Pennsylvania. If you're traveling temporarily, you may need to reschedule your appointment for when you return, or we can explore options for coverage with a provider licensed in your temporary location.

Can I use my health insurance for online prescriptions and refills?

Yes, most major insurance plans cover online psychiatry appointments and resulting prescriptions. Your insurance coverage works the same as an in-person visit. The prescription your provider sends to the pharmacy is covered according to your plan's pharmacy benefits. Blossom Health is in-network with most major carriers in Pennsylvania. During enrollment, we'll verify your coverage and explain your expected costs.

Can I use a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for online psychiatry visits in Pennsylvania?

Yes, online psychiatry appointments qualify as eligible medical expenses for both HSA and FSA accounts. You can use your HSA or FSA debit card to pay for video appointments, copays, or out-of-pocket costs. Prescription medications prescribed during your visit are also HSA/FSA eligible.

Are Blossom Health's Pennsylvania psychiatric providers licensed?

Yes, all Blossom Health psychiatric providers serving Pennsylvania patients are board-certified and fully licensed to practice medicine in Pennsylvania. They meet all state requirements for providing mental health care and prescribing medications.
