Teladoc uses three primary kinds of physicians: those who are semi-retired, or taking time off from active practice; ER physicians who provide services when they are not at the hospital; and actively practicing physicians who treat Teladoc patients in between office appointments.

Physicians generally keep 90% of the visit fee and have the convenience of not having to deal with paperwork because patients pay them at the time of visit via credit card. Teladoc doctors commonly treat cold and flu, sinus, allergies, ear infection, poison ivy and respiratory infections.

Technology advances each day, allowing doctors to better treat patients. Teladoc offers the medical world an opportunity to help patients with non-emergency illness get treatment faster, easier and at an affordable rate.
