Teladoc Vs Doctor on Demand: Who’s the Best Virtual Doctor for You?

Next Step: http://hubs.ly/H0372-c0 We’re going to compare these companies across five different categories: Company History Cost/Pricing Platform (Web & Mobile App) Talking to a Doctor Follow-Up Pricing/Cost This is where you are going to see the biggest difference between these two companies. Teladoc offers subscription style pricing, normally sold as part of a package with other discount benefits. You pay a flat monthly fee and you can get treatment from their doctors whenever you need. Doctor on Demand charges you around $49 per visit. These two pricing models are really a matter of preference and to some extent overall value. Personally, I would rather pay the monthly fee for more healthcare at a lower cost. Paying $49 for a virtual office visit isn’t much different than just going to see your actual doctor in real life. The only difference is that you don’t have to leave your house to do it. With Teladoc’s pricing model you don’t have to worry about paying for another follow-up visit or if your other kid gets sick a few days later. It’s like watching a TV show on Netflix vs. iTunes. If it’s on Netflix you can watch as many episodes as you want for your $9.99 a month. iTunes however, is going to get you for $2.99 per episode. The Bottom Line Even though it is a pretty small sample size, both companies have substantially exceeded my expectations for telemedicine. It seems, just like anything else, your mileage will vary depending on the doctor talk to. The most encouraging part so far is that mileage has been good to great. While Doctor on Demand’s thorough exam was interesting, I don’t know how effective it ultimately was. The timed visit is by far one of the strangest choices I’ve run across from any of the big companies. Teladoc’s lower monthly rate on the other hand leaves you with zero risk to book several visit from doctors. At the end of the day it’s going to come down to the same thing as everything else, price. If you are looking for access to more healthcare at a lower cost Teladoc is probably going to be your best bet. If you prefer less medical treatment at a higher cost Doctor on Demand will be your pick.
