- If a prescription is needed for your diagnosis, you can pick up the medication at any network pharmacy that you choose.
- If you need more care, the Teladoc provider will ask you to follow up with your primary care provider (PCP).
Have your CareSource member ID number ready when you call. You will need to answer a few questions about the reason for your call. A provider will contact you, usually within 10 minutes or less.
