What is CloseKnit?

CloseKnit is a virtual-first primary care practice in the CareFirst network that provides access to complete patient care, with immediate availability for appointments. Members ages 18 and older can access virtual care 24/7/365 from all 50 states and Washington, D.C. and easily chat with a provider through the CloseKnit app.

Through CloseKnit, you’ll have access to a dedicated care team that can treat most illnesses virtually or refer you to local, in-person care if needed. With CloseKnit, your care is personalized, and you can even choose CloseKnit as your primary care provider (PCP) through My Account.
