In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual care appointments will be available. Call 701-746-7521 to schedule.

There are limitations of this mode of treatment, including but not limited to, the absence of in-person examinations. By participating, you are agreeing to be treated in a remote fashion in spite of the limitations. There are no guarantees with telemedicine. Virtual visits are not intended to address emergency or life-threatening medical conditions and should not be used in those circumstances.

The prior Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) insurance requirements for telemedicine claims have been waived during this public health emergency. North Dakota Blue Cross & Blue Shield is aligned with CMS for a temporary basis. The fee for the telemedicine visit depends upon your insurance provider’s policies for deductibles and coinsurance. Links for insurances are listed below.
