Virginia is for lovers… and Blueberry Pediatrics! 

Blueberry Pediatrics, a leading online provider of healthcare services for children ages 0-21, is excited to bring evidence-based, virtual medical care to support your family’s urgent care needs - wherever and whenever works for you.

Goodbye urgent care, hello Blueberry!

If you’re looking for urgent care near you, look no further than your phone, tablet, or computer! Blueberry Pediatrics is the leading online provider of healthcare services for children ages 0-21. Our board-certified pediatricians are available 24/7, 365 days a year, so you can spend less time at urgent care or your doctor’s office and more time getting your sick child back to 100% right from home.

How does Blueberry Pediatrics work?

Blueberry gives parents on-demand access to pediatricians through an easy-to-use at-home testing kit, mobile application, and affordable monthly subscription. 

Blueberry’s HIPAA-compliant platform provides parents with an easy and effective way of communicating with pediatricians and obtaining a comprehensive medical examination of their children - through text, phone, or video - including diagnosis, treatment guidance, and, if appropriate, medication. All without appointments or waiting rooms.

Once you join, you can use the service immediately. Whenever your child is not feeling well, you can connect with our pediatric team via chat, telephone, or video - get help with anything, big or small! 

You’ll also receive a handy at-home medical kit, enabling our pediatricians to diagnose even more issues, like ear infections, from home - saving you time, stress, and urgent care costs.

What can Blueberry Pediatrics treat?

Blueberry is the perfect alternative to urgent care or the emergency room and can help with and treat many symptoms and childhood illnesses:

  • Colds
  • Coughs
  • Sinus infections
  • Rashes
  • Hives

Does Blueberry Pediatrics write doctor’s notes?

Yes! After your child is seen by one of our Pediatricians, we can write a doctor's or absence note as medically appropriate. Learn more about doctors’ notes here.

What is in a Blueberry Medical Kit? 

Having a Blueberry membership is like having an urgent care or doctor’s office at home! The Blueberry medical kit contains:

  • Wifi Ear Scope / Otoscope: ‍The smart otoscope is a flexible, tiny camera that makes it easy to take photos and videos inside your child's ears, nose, or throat. Your pediatric team uses these to diagnose and treat ear infections and other issues.
  • ‍Finger Pulse Oximeter: Put the pulse oximeter on your child's finger, and it will accurately measure heart rate and oxygen levels, giving you and your pediatrician valuable information about your child's health.
  • ‍Digital Oral Thermometer: ‍The included thermometer is waterproof and has a flexible tip to make it easy to take your child’s temperature. 

For more information about our medical kit, click here.

How much does Blueberry cost? 

Blueberry offers services for a low monthly or annual cost: $20 per month or $180 per year (depending on the chosen plan), plus a one-time fee for your home medical kit.

A year of unlimited care for an entire family is less than a single urgent care copay. Plus, there are no per-visit fees or copays regardless of insurance coverage, no matter how much a family uses Blueberry or how many children they have.

There are also no commitments - you can cancel anytime online on your account page.

Blueberry Pediatrics versus urgent care

Save time, money, and hassle with a Blueberry Pediatrics membership:

  • No long waits: get diagnoses, prescriptions, and school notes in minutes from top-rated, board-certified pediatricians

  • We’re never closed: as a member, you get access to Blueberry 24/7, 365 days a year, even on holidays
  • No false promises: if you don’t like Blueberry, we’ll refund your membership. We have a 100% satisfaction guarantee policy

“Such a helpful physician and so easy to talk to. Very thorough in review the pictures and videos sent and listening to my assessment as a mommy too. We are already on the men just two days after starting the prescription, but the doctor also gave us a follow up plan should we need it.” - Brandi
