What does money talk think about TDOC

Long term outlook on Teladoc Health. What does Money Talk say?

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. Today I got on for an ear ache and they couldn’t do anything and told me to go to urgent care.
The service in theory is great but it’s very limited to what they can help. Like colds or whatever

I held tdoc for awhile and made some gains off it but I just feel like the local health care providers all have such good apps themselves now and can integrate their actual local doctors seamlessly when the need escalates, and that puts tdoc at a natural disadvantage unless you think rural demand is massive.
I actually had a minor medical issue in 2021 and used oschners app to talk to my primary and then schedule and communicate with a specialist, I sold my tdoc after that experience.

Wasted a few grand on the concept of it being the wave of the future. I’m a dumass Ha!
Used it once. Same story as the other guy. They couldn’t do anything for me I couldn’t google. Told me for actual prescription I needed to go to doctor. If they can’t help you, what’s the point?
Loses money now. Will continue to lose money. Maybe someone will buy them?

- cant look in ears or listen to lungs this way. no to tele/video visits for things that warrant an actual exam.
- tele/video would be great utility for more maintenance type visits. BP, anxiety, diabetes med tweak type things. the alternative is asking patients to submit their numbers online/nurse visit. adherence/success would increase making everyone's life easier if it means not having to adjust doses or add meds.
- midlevel expansion (in numbers and independence legality), 'BK have it your way medicine' patients, and business minded docs/midlevels are growing. TDOC benefits from and incentivizes that. although that may defeat the utility of the previous bullet id expect increasing demand for patients and 'providers'.
- a wildcard factor for TDOC is the legal and insurance aspect. government can be fickle, state and federal. its perpetually one election away from a paradigm shift.
i think tdoc is fundamentally sound. Exception being government influence, but this is also applies to varying degrees for every sector.
I cant speak to their money situation so kinda depends on that.

I’ve used them for a couple of years. Really feels like something changed in 2020/21. As in a regulatory body, etc..
There’s a ton of money in the old school way to manage healthcare. No seasoned industry likes disruption.
But I do like the service. As mentioned, it’s limited.

covid stock in my opinion. Much like roku i'm thinking that was the top.

The top was 2021. No self-respecting physician is going to prescribe antibiotics without visually looking into the ears/throat, listening to the lungs with a stethoscope, and/or obtaining a specimen swab. Antibiotic resistance is largely an unknown problem to the general public, and blindly prescribing antibiotics through telehealth will make it even worse.
With that said, I am not a buyer.

My doctor offered services through tdoc for about a year during COVID. Anything that can realistically and reliably be done through tdoc can basically be solved over a phone call. So very limited circumstances.
However diagnosis and prescription of medicine requires a bit more personal interaction and truly requires knowledge of history.

Basic stuff is definitely easier through TDOC.
Last week jumped on the app and had a doctor fill a non-narcotic script within 6 minutes. Would have taken me longer to book an appointment with a primary care physician.
But as I stated above.. limited.

As more medical grade devices become affordable, more remote doctoring will occur. They will figure it out. Right now you can buy a portable ekg that fits in your shirt pocket for $100. They will be able to listen to your lungs and look in your ears remotely once these technologies get cheap enough and scale. Concept is legit. There are still obstacles before it can run.

Fake company
Cringe business model. They already have a service that does this called “the telephone”
ETA:
There are literally 0 doctors in the world that can interpret an ekg
