What Can I Use It For?

Physician consultations

Our average response time is 23 minutes.
We offer direct access to a national network of board-certified, US-based physicians who are licensed in your state. These doctors can diagnose, recommend treatment, and prescribe medication* for non-emergency medical issues you might have. We have physicians who specialize in both adult medicine and pediatrics and can address medical issues for members of any age.

Short-term prescriptions

After a TelaDoc consult, if the physician considers it appropriate, they will order a short-term prescription for you by calling it into the pharmacy of your choice. All you have to do is pick it up. Some common medications prescribed by our physicians include:

  • Zithromax™
  • Tamiflu™
  • Allegra™
  • Flonase Nasal Spray™
  • Amoxil™
  • Ciproflaxin™
  • Augmentin™
  • Z-pac™
  • Tessalon Perles™
  • Azithromycin™

Note: Our physicians may order a short-term prescription for a maintenance medicine that you are currently taking subject to state regulations. TelaDoc physicians are unable to prescribe DEA controlled substances. Read about our Prescription Policy.

Maintain your Electronic Health Record (EHR)

TelaDoc offers you a free EHR that stores all of your personal health information in one secure place that is accessible to you 24/7, 365 days a year. You control who can see the information that is in your record. Learn more about how your EHR is used.

Seeking a Specialist

TelaDoc physicians are able to provide you with guidance on the type of specialist you should see, if appropriate. Simply request a consult with a TelaDoc physician. After speaking with you about your medical concern, the TelaDoc physician may confirm that you need a specialist and determine what type of specialist would be best for your particular need. This way, you can have the right information you need within hours, if not minutes–as the average TelaDoc response time is currently 23 minutes.

TelaDoc provides rapid deployment of antiviral medications, personal protective equipment, and counseling over the telephone in the case of a pandemic or emergency.
