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
