Frequently asked questions

What are my costs to use Firefly through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts?

Can I still see my current primary care provider (PCP)?

Is virtual care as good as in-person care?

It’s not about one versus the other. Sometimes, you absolutely need hands-on care. But very often, you don’t. Going virtual means you avoid a lot of hassle. Like waiting weeks for an appointment, juggling time off from work, or a million other things that get in the way of seeing your doctor.

In-person care that you can’t actually get, well, that isn’t care at all. Virtual care offers you a team wherever and whenever you need it. Firefly takes the best ideas from the in-person way of doing things and builds on them to give you more complete healthcare that fits your life.

What health issues can Firefly treat virtually?

Firefly can handle most primary care needs virtually, including:

Chronic conditions: They have advanced approaches to managing your chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes or high blood pressure.
Acute concerns: They’re great for common ailments like back pain, stomach flu, headaches, sinus infections, and more.
Health coaching: They’ll help you be your best self by supporting long-term health goals such as managing your weight, quitting smoking, or sleeping better.
Women’s health: From birth control counseling to menstrual cycle concerns, they proactively manage women's health needs.
Behavioral health: As a Firefly member, you’ll have the option to work with a licensed behavioral health specialist to assess concerns such as depression or anxiety, provide support, and monitor your progress along the way.

“It's hard to be sick and have to go see a doctor in person. I love getting a response back in that moment I'm not feeling well. I’ve really appreciated the real-time communication with Firefly.”

Meshia, 41

Firefly Member

“My old doctor said, ‘Yeah, we can totally see you…in two and a half months.’ I thought, ‘So what do I do until then?’ I looked around and found Firefly. They saw me the same day with a virtual appointment.”

Hanlon, 34

Firefly Member

“Firefly's on the tech frontier without losing the human factor. There's an actual person on the other end. I don't have to hop in the car, go down there and have somebody hit my knee with a hammer.”

Paul, 42

Firefly Member

“For someone with anxiety, it can be hard to reach out and get care for myself. It's easy to send a message about what’s going on and get a quick response back from my Firefly team.”

Sarah, 26

Firefly Member

“30 minutes after I got to the ER on a Saturday night, I get a message from Dr. Greenberg saying, 'What's going on?' My mind was blown. I started crying like, 'Oh my God, I have a doctor!’”
