Your ASO clients + Teladoc = Client retention + Revenue

Your clients benefit from lower health care costs, greater productivity from less absenteeism and presenteeism, and happier employees. This translates into more satisfied clients and higher client retention. Not to mention, ASO buy-up options which provide you with an additional revenue stream.

Your network + Teladoc’s network = Greater access

With 30 million new patients flooding into a health care system already taxed with a PCP shortage, timely access to care is a growing concern. Many frustrated patients will use the ER as their PCP, driving up costs for you and your clients. Teladoc’s national network of board-certified physicians can wrap around your network to assist members when your physicians are unavailable, cover shortages in rural areas, and provide an alternative to costly ER visits.
