Strep Throat treatment with BCBS Federal Employee Program

Clindle clinicians are in-network with BCBS Federal Employee Program and clinicians treat strep throat over a same-day video visit. Most BCBS FEP members pay only their standard office-visit copay.

About Strep Throat

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.

BCBS FEP coverage at Clindle

Clindle accepts the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Program (FEP). Federal employees, retirees and their families can book video visits with Clindle clinicians under their FEP benefits. We verify your FEP coverage and quote your expected cost before you book.

We verify your specific BCBS FEP 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.
