Telemedicine - Fast, Safe, Convenient

Telemedicine is a form of “long-distance” health care and support. The company offers Teladoc to you and your family for FREE. It allows you to video chat with your provider, send and receive private test results, view tutorials or instructions for care, and the option to have medications prescribed.*

We recommend registering your family members with Teladoc in advance, as registration for dependents can take up to 24 hours.

Connecting virtually with a telemedicine provider allows you to discuss symptoms and medical issues in real time using video, online portals and email. Using telemedicine, you can receive a diagnosis, learn your treatment options, and get a prescription*. In cases where it’s necessary, health care providers can even monitor readings from medical devices remotely to keep an eye on your condition.

Fast: In many cases, you can be seen the same day. Once you set up the initial health history into the database at teladoc.com, appointments can be scheduled quickly – even outside typical business hours.

Privacy: Telemedicine complies with HIPAA laws, which aim to prevent private or secure medical documents from being leaked. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is legislation that provides security provisions and data privacy to keep your medical information safe.

Convenient: You no longer need to go anywhere to get medical attention. Now, your living room or anywhere you have internet access can be your doctor’s office.
