Title
APPROVAL FOR THE ADDITION OF TELEHEALTH SERVICES WITH TELEDOC TO BE ADDED TO THE MEDICAL INSURANCE PROGRAM EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, 2018
Description
Telehealth services with Teledoc will be added to the Medical Plan and administered by Florida Blue. Adding this service will allow employees quicker access for routine medical conditions at a lower cost. Each visit with a doctor will cost the Plan $40 for the remainder of 2018 and $42 a visit after January 1, 2019. The fee for this service will be $0.90 per subscriber per month for an approximate annual total of $56,009. This fee will be incorporated into the current ASO agreement with Florida Blue. After the cost of the fee, the plan could save $50,000 - $100,000 per year. By utilizing this service, members will pay $5 less than current copay for a primary care visit and a fixed copay for the Low PPO plan.
Recommendation
That the telehealth services with Teledoc be added to the Medical Plan effective August 1, 2018 be approved by the Board as presented.
