Primary care is ideal for those who don’t currently have a primary care provider, want to try a new primary care provider, or can’t get in to visit their in-person primary care provider as often as they’d like.

• You will provide information to the Teladoc doctor by completing an assessment prior to the visit.
• The Teladoc doctor can collect medical records on your behalf (i.e., you would sign a release form and the Teladoc team would collect your information/results).
• Teladoc will mail you a blood pressure monitor so that you can take readings and share the results with the doctor.
• With a video visit, you can show the problem area such as pointing to a mole on your arm. With a phone visit, you can upload images for review.

You can choose from a list of available providers. You can review detailed information “About Me” including the doctor’s name, gender, clinical focus area, education, experience, and photo.

Yes. If a Teladoc provider feels a prescription is needed, they will contact the pharmacy of your choice. This includes prescribing GLP-1 medications to established members for weight loss when clinically appropriate and permitted by state regulations.

• It’s usually best to start with the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) which offers short-term problem resolution at no cost.
• However, if you are unable to find help from EAP, Teladoc therapists and psychiatrists are available for phone or video appointments 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. You can choose a therapist or psychiatrist who fits your needs and see the same person throughout your treatment. Your visit will be scheduled within 3 to 7 days.

Telehealth and telemedicine refer to virtual meetings with a medical provider using a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

• Telemedicine – Meet with a clinical services vendor such as Teladoc, available 24/7.
• Telehealth – Meet with your physician/doctor virtually during business hours.

Maybe — some doctors offer virtual options. The cost for a virtual visit with your primary care provider or specialist is the same as a regular office visit co-pay or coinsurance, which is $25 for primary care and $35 for specialists with the Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan and 20% after deductible for the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with HSA. For both plans, preventive medical visits are free.
