The bottom line
Teladoc is a strong platform for phone and video consultations, mental health, and chronic disease management. But it cannot perform in-person diagnostics: no strep tests, no X-Rays, no EKGs. That means patients with symptoms that need physical examination still end up at urgent care ($158) or the ER ($4,066).
EZaccessMD starts with the same telehealth consultation, and when the doctor needs labs or imaging, dispatches a mobile medical unit. That's why our utilization rate is 81% compared to the industry average of 10–15%. The benefit works because it actually solves the problem.
