Healthx Partners with Teladoc to Provide Telemedicine Services
Healthx,
Inc., the leader in cloud-based digital engagement solutions for
healthcare payers and other stakeholders, and Teladoc,
Inc. (NYSE: TDOC), the nation's leading provider of telehealth
services, announced a partnership to offer Teladoc's services on the
Healthx member engagement platform. Teladoc's telehealth services are
pre-integrated to the Healthx platform, and provide members with 24/7
online access to state-licensed, board-certified physicians for
on-demand remote care via mobile devices, secure online video and phone.
In situations when a member of a health plan or third party
administrator (TPA) doesn't have access to their family physician for
common, non-emergency conditions, an urgent care or emergency room visit
may be the only option, which is costly and time-consuming. Healthx
makes Teladoc's telehealth services accessible to members when, where
and however they want. Services are available from virtually anywhere
via the Healthx member portal, mobile devices, secure video and phone to
diagnose and treat many common ailments. This means helping people
resolve their issues quickly, easily and affordably.
"Telemedicine is one of the top health care trends for 2016," said Sean
Downs, Healthx CEO. "With health care's focus on improved quality and
lower costs, Teladoc, the industry leader, brings unmatched experience
and success in providing quality telehealth services with meaningful
ROIs." Downs added, "This is exciting for our customers, as health plans
and TPAs that purchase this solution can provide access to telehealth
services under their own brnd, making them more competitive and
improving member satisfaction."
"This is a great relationship for Teladoc," said Jason Gorevic, Teladoc
chief executive officer. "The sophistication of our technology and
scalability of our platform will undoubtedly support Healthx's member
engagement goals, while delivering a substantial ROI to its customer
base. Healthx's decision to integrate Teladoc's platform and engagement
strategies will give its members national access to convenient, high
quality health care at a much lower cost than traditional clinical
encounters."
