Access to a Doctor 24/7 with Teladoc
Posted on March 22, 2016
Health New England Be HealthyTM members have access to U.S. board-certified doctors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, through TeladocTM. You can request a phone, mobile app or online video consultation with a Teladoc doctor to treat non-emergency health issues such as a cold or the flu, urinary tract infections, ear pain and more. Teladoc doctors can also prescribe non-narcotic, short-term prescriptions as part of the treatment, when medically necessary.
A low-cost and easy way to get non-emergency care, Teladoc will connect you with a doctor in less than an hour.
It is important to note that Teladoc does not replace your primary care provider (PCP) and should not be used to treat chronic conditions. In many cases, the Teladoc doctor will send a copy of the visit to your PCP after the consultation.
Skilled doctors
Teladoc doctors are U.S. board-certified in internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics and dermatology. They are U.S. residents, licensed in Massachusetts, with an average of 20 years of practice experience. In addition, Teladoc doctors are credentialed every three years with National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) provider credentialing standards.
