Teladoc hits 1 millionth telehealth visit

Teladoc has completed its 1 millionth virtual visit, making it the first telehealth provider to reach that milestone.

“Hitting our 1 millionth visit underscores the growing adoption and utilization of telehealth services across the country,” said Jason Gorevic, Teladoc CEO. “This Teladoc milestone is evidence of the value we deliver and the confidence our employers, members, physicians and hospital systems have in our ability to provide quality health care where and when people need it most.”

Teladoc helps resolve common, non-emergency issues and offers behavioral health, dermatological, tobacco cessation and sexual health services. The company maintains a 92 percent medical resolution rate and a 95 percent patient satisfaction rate. Its biggest rivals are American Well, Doctor on Demand and MDLIVE.

According to the National Business Group on Health, 74 percent of large employers are expected to offer telemedicine in 2016 compared to 48 percent in 2015 and only 28 percent in 2014.
