Quality care. Anytime. Anywhere.
24/7/365 access to U.S. board-certified physicians and pediatricians.
Teladoc provides access to a network of U.S. board-certified physicians who can resolve many medical issues via phone or online video consultations. It’s quality healthcare, when and where you need it, at a price you can afford.
Teladoc was founded in 2002 with a vision of tackling the three biggest issues in healthcare.
• Healthcare Today Rising Costs:
Only 54% of emergency room visits are considered to be emergent or urgent.[1] At $40 or less per consultation, Teladoc is an affordable alternative to costly urgent care or ER visits.
• Access to Care
85% of Americans who went to the ER said they couldn’t wait to see their regular medical provider.[2] 45% of ER visits were not classifiable as immediate, emergent or urgent at triage.[3] Employees can request a consultation anytime, anywhere. A Teladoc physician will respond within an hour guaranteed for phone consultations.
• Quality of Care
The average in–office consultation last 3–5 minutes and retail/urgent care centers ofter use physician assistants and nurse practitioners. There is no time limit to a Teladoc consultation. Teladoc physicians are U.S. board–certified and licensed in your state.
Imagine this…Your employee has cold-like symptoms but doesn’t have the time to sit in an urgent care waiting room. Instead, they use Teladoc.
