Published on by Megan MacGregorLeave a comment

Will you be traveling during the holiday season? If you or a family member gets sick or needs medical advice while you’re away (within the USA), remember that Teladoc is here to help. Teladoc gives you 24/7 access to speak with a licensed health care professional by web, phone, or mobile app. They can even send prescriptions to a nearby pharmacy when medically necessary. This benefit is available to all MSU employees and their dependents who are currently enrolled in an MSU health plan.

How Does it Work?
When you need medical advice, you can receive quality care from a licensed health care professional in three simple steps:

  1. Request: Ask to talk to a health care professional 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by web, phone or mobile app.
  2. Visit: Speak with a health care professional; take as much time as you need to explain your medical concern.
  3. Resolve: If medically necessary, a prescription will be sent to the pharmacy of your choice.

To find more information on this benefit you can visit the HR website. To sign up, visit Teladoc.com and click on “Member Login” to set up your Teladoc account. Then request a consult with an available medical professional. If you have any questions you can contact Teladoc directly at 1-800-Teladoc or visit the Teladoc website.
