Buyer Details
Teladoc Health is a virtual health provider with a tele-health platform delivering 24-hour, on-demand healthcare via mobile devices, the internet, video, and phone. Its platform connects members with a network of physicians and behavioral health professionals. Most of the company's revenue is generated on a subscription basis (per member per month); the balance comes from visit fees. Since inception, Teladoc has primarily partnered with employers, health plans, and health systems to offer network access to their members; most recently, the company has also started to market directly to consumers while expanding its service portfolio. The cornerstone of Teladoc's business is to provide healthcare access to members in real-time to avoid excessive health plan costs.
