About the Expert Medical Services (EMS) Program

The Expert Medical Services (EMS) Program connects Members with specialty-matched physicians who provide expert guidance on diagnoses, treatment options, and complex medical concerns.

Through the EMS program, physicians collaborate closely with Teladoc Health’s internal clinical teams to deliver comprehensive, personalized expert evaluations. Cases are delivered through a secure, user-friendly virtual platform that enables document sharing, flexible scheduling across time zones, and detailed written reports for Member review.

The EMS program operates 24/7, including weekends, and requires a higher level of clinical engagement and time commitment per case compared to standard telehealth services.

Teladoc’s EMS program is designed to support Members throughout their medical journey by:

• Facilitating remote opinions from specialty-matched clinicians for expert support

• Collecting and reviewing medical records and diagnostic imaging to create a personalized health summary

• Providing tailored responses to Members’ medical questions from dedicated physicians or leading experts for more complex cases

• Offering tools and resources such as condition-specific educational materials, reputable websites, and recommendations to relevant support organizations and facilities

• When in-person care is required, assisting Members in identifying appropriate providers near their location, with limited support available for out-of-country recommendations and resources when appropriate

Teladoc supports Members across a wide range of medical conditions by delivering virtual expert evaluations of diagnoses and treatment plans. Through coordinated medical record collection and diagnostic review, the Teladoc team provides expert clinical guidance from intake through case completion.
