Teladoc – Get a free expert second opinion from leading medical specialists

They provide expert medical guidance that’s personalized just for you, so you can get the answers you need to make the best decisions about your health.

You should use this service when you or someone covered by your plan benefits are unsure about a diagnosis or need help choosing the right care.

How much does Expert Medical Opinion cost?
You or anyone covered by this benefit will not have to pay for the Teladoc services. If the Teladoc Health doctor recommends tests and treatment options, those costs will depend on what is covered through your insurance.
