Reduce Health Care Costs With TelaDocTM Care!

Affordable and Accessible Primary Care

Do you know what illness is costing your organization? On average, physician office visits cost you $139, urgent care visits cost $150 and emergency room visits cost $500. All of these encounters result in lost productivity for your organization. Yet an estimated 25% of ER visits and 60% to 70% of office visits could have been handled by telephone.

 

Bridge the Gap between Productivity and Health

TelaDocTM Care gives your employees access to a national network of primary care physicians, all state-licensed and board-certified, that specialize in telephone medical consults. Each physician has access to the employee’s electronic health record prior to and during the consult and can prescribe medications when necessary. This progressive and timely service bridges the gap between employer productivity and employee health, providing your workforce with uncomplicated access to affordable healthcare. TelaDocTM Care resolves most non-urgent medical needs, providing greater convenience and cost savings to employees and employers.
