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.
