The Spooky Season is a Great Time to Focus on Your Health

As the year winds down, so does the window to schedule an annual wellness exam. Putting off a checkup, especially after a long gap, can feel spooky. But with Teladoc Health, staying ahead of what might be lurking is scarily convenient. Members can book time with a board-certified provider or complete a VirtualCheckup®, whichever fits their life best.

Primary Care: Care Built Around You

Teladoc Health's Primary Care is designed to meet members where they are. After selecting a primary care provider (PCP), members can build a lasting, trusted relationship with that PCP, the same person, visit after visit, supported by:

  • 20 minutes of focused one-on-one time at each visit
  • Same-day visits if needed
  • Personalized care plans
  • Early detection of chronic conditions
  • Precision referrals and navigation to in-person care when needed

Members also have ongoing access to a care team through the app for questions between visits.

Having a consistent PCP doesn’t just improve care. It also helps contain costs that add up over time:

  • 10% average projected reduction in medical costs per Primary Care member, per year
  • 26% of members avoided a trip to the ER or urgent care
  • 11% projected savings on total episodic cost of referrals

VirtualCheckup®: The next best treat for busy schedules

For members who want a thorough snapshot of their health, VirtualCheckup® combines at-home testing with a live clinical consultation. No waiting room required.

Assessment and Review
  • Diagnostic blood tests (including A1c)
  • Blood pressure, BMI measurements
  • Personal and family health history
  • Depression and anxiety screening
  • Filled prescription import and review
Consultation and Action
  • Video consult with a nurse practitioner
  • Personal action plan, created and delivered
  • Recommendation and direct enrollment into Teladoc Health programs when eligible
  • Referral into employer or plan-sponsored programs
  • Results sent to PCP; plus help finding one if a member doesn’t have one yet.

Together, Primary Care and VirtualCheckup® help close care gaps, catch risks early and keep treatment coordinated.
