Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield · Covered care
Clindle clinicians are in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and clinicians treat strep throat over a same-day video visit. Most Anthem BCBS members pay only their standard office-visit copay.
Strep throat (group A streptococcal pharyngitis) presents with sudden sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and tonsillar exudate — usually without cough. The CENTOR or McIsaac score helps decide who to test. Clindle orders a rapid strep test or throat culture at a lab near you when symptoms fit, and prescribes penicillin VK or amoxicillin (or azithromycin for penicillin allergy) for confirmed cases. Untreated strep can cause rheumatic fever — that's why we treat it. Drooling, severe one-sided pain, or trouble breathing means in-person evaluation.
Clindle is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield commercial plans, and Anthem members can use their telehealth benefit for video visits with Clindle clinicians. Most Anthem members pay a standard primary-care copay. We verify your specific Anthem plan and quote your expected cost before you book.
We verify your specific Anthem BCBS plan before the visit and tell you the expected out-of-pocket cost up front. If your plan doesn't cover telehealth, you can use the flat $50 self-pay rate instead.
