About Telehealth
Telehealth is a revolutionary model for providing care when you need it, from wherever you are. It has been reviewed and accepted by national figures in the healthcare arena, such as Tommy Thompson, former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.
In the last ten years, telehealth has come into the mainstream and has simply become another way for patients to access care in a way that is most convenient for them. TelaDoc is the oldest and largest provider of telehealth medical consults, with the largest network of physicians, serving more than 1.6 million members.
How does TelaDoc fit into your life?
The TelaDoc service does not replace the care of your primary care physician (PCP), but rather complements it. TelaDoc physicians are trained and experienced in telephonic visits, which provides medical assessments, treatment, care and services via the telephone when your PCP is unavailable or inaccessible. You can call TelaDoc when:
- Your PCP is unavailable or the wait time is too long
- After normal office hours
- When you're on vacation or a business trip
- For a short term refill of a recurring prescription
- For non-emergency medical assistance where your only alternative would be to go to the emergency room
- To answer health questions or get a second opinion
