Talk to a Doctor Without Leaving Home
Skip the trip to the doctor and time in a waiting room filled with other sick people. Beginning January 1, 2014, you can talk to a doctor without leaving home. With the new telemedicine service through Teladoc, you can use your smart phone, tablet or web browser for a quick, convenient consultation with a U.S. board-certified doctor about your health concern or issue.
Teladoc is like having a doctor on-call for an online or phone consultation anytime. It is available to anyone covered by the HSA or PPO medical plan. You’ll pay a $40 consultation fee at the time of service, and Teladoc accepts all major credit cards, including the Your Spending Account™ debit card.
