Teladoc Health Launches Teladoc Global Care Services
September 20 2018 - 8:35AM
Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), the global leader in virtual care,
announced today the launch of Teladoc Global Care, the first
virtual care offering of its kind to uniquely meet the needs of
globally mobile individuals in need of general medical care. The
addition of Teladoc Global Care services enables multinational
organizations to provide expats and travelers with a single
solution for convenient and easy-to-navigate access to quality
care, regardless of geographic location.
With more than $1.33 trillion in global business travel spending
and more than 66.2 million expatriate workers worldwide, the trend
of globally mobile workforces is on the rise. As such,
multinational companies are increasingly focused on supporting
these employees and their dependents to assure engagement,
retention and productivity, with better access to healthcare an
increasingly important consideration.
“Navigating an unfamiliar health system while traveling
heightens uncertainty and stress for employees and can result in
higher costs for plan sponsors,” explained Dan Trencher, senior
vice president of product and corporate strategy, Teladoc Health.
“With the introduction of Global Care, Teladoc Health is
transforming how people access and experience healthcare around the
world, and successfully accelerating the pace of innovation with
truly differentiated virtual care offerings.”
Delivered within the Teladoc mobile app experience, Global Care
makes it easy to talk with a doctor who not only speaks the
individual’s language, but has the experience and training to
listen to the unique health situation with cultural sensitivity and
guide the individual through the local health system as needed. The
24x7, non-emergency service can be utilized worldwide and care is
delivered in more than 20 languages including English, Spanish,
Portuguese, French, Hungarian, Polish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean,
Thai, Malay, Hindi, Japanese and Arabic.
“Regardless of their location, when an individual is seeking
care for themselves or for a family member, they need to have
complete confidence in the medical decisions being made,” said Lew
Levy, chief medical officer, Teladoc Health. “With our global
physician network, Teladoc Health can uniquely provide the comfort
and clinical expertise for members whether they are home or
thousands of miles away from home. We’re reducing stress, we’re
lowering costs, and we’re improving care around the globe.”
