How It Works

For a low monthly fee, you can enroll in a discount medical plan. These programs offer discounted rates for medical services — including preventive and routine care. The average fee is around $50 a month.
Most discount plans will accept all applicants regardless of any pre-existing conditions.

Remember: discount plans do not offer the same benefits as health insurance. Discount programs only offer reduced rates for basic medical services.

Discount programs can also help you save more money if you have health insurance coverage.
For example, many people with health insurance don’t have coverage for prescription drugs, dental care, or vision care. A discount medical plan helps them save money on these services, too.
 
Through our program, the discount is given directly to you when you pay the health provider at the time you see them.

How You Benefit
With the program, there are no claim forms to fill out or submit for payment. Since our program is not insurance, you simply pay the health provider when you see them.

We encourage you and your family to use this program as often as needed without increases in fees.

When you enroll you will receive a detailed kit that includes your membership cards as well as instructions on how to access each benefit. If you have questions, call us and we will guide you through the process to provide the highest level of savings while experiencing the best service.

How TelaDoc Works

TelaDoc is available to you 24/7, 365 days a year for your non-emergency healthcare needs. You can use this anytime, however you’ll first need to set-up an account and fill out your medical history disclosure, which will become part of your electronic health record (EHR). It’s a good idea to do this in advance (it only takes 15 minutes). This way, whenever you need care, a TelaDoc physician is a quick phone call or click away.
  1. Request a consult
  2. When you have a medical issue, simply log on to your account at teladoc.com or call 1-800-TelaDoc (1-800-835-2362) to request a consult.
  3. The physician responds
  4. A board-certified physician who is licensed in your state receives your request and reviews your personal EHR. The doctor then responds to you within 3 hours guaranteed or the consult is free. The average response time is 23 minutes.
  5. Consultation
  6. The doctor takes time to listen to your concerns and ask questions to determine the medical issue. There is no time limit to the consult. Our doctors use the strictest, nationally recognized clinical standards when consulting with you.
  7. Resolution
  8. Based on the consultation, the doctor recommends the right therapy or treatment, or refers you to a PCP if necessary. 91% of TelaDoc members report that the TelaDoc physician resolved their medical issue.
  9. Prescriptions are ordered, if necessary
  10. If the doctor has ordered a prescription to treat your case, it is phoned into your local pharmacy. It will be waiting there for you to pick it up at your convenience.
  11. Your EHR is updated and made available
  12. The doctor then updates your EHR based on the consult so that this information is available to you and, if you consent, your PCP online anytime. Your personal information is kept completely private. You are the only one who can determine who is able to see your records. Learn more about your EHR.
  13. Payment
  14. You can pay for the consult by debit or credit card or, if we have your billing information on file, it’s all taken care of in advance. The consult is $40 or less, depending on your plan design. TelaDoc provides access to receipts for deductibles or reimbursement if you need them.
    (CONSULT FEES ARE WAIVED IF PURCHASED THROUGH GET SMART BENEFITS)
  15. Satisfaction Survey
  16. Your satisfaction with our service is important to us. At the end of every call, the doctor will ask if they have answered all your questions, and we will follow up with you to see if you were satisfied with the service. 97% of our members were satisfied with their consult and 95% said they would use it again.
