HealthVault Adds Teleconsultations


September 2, 2008

TelaDoc Medical Services in Dallas has become a vendor partner of Microsoft HealthVault.

Dallas-based TelaDoc offers fee-based 24/7 non-emergency telephone consultations by primary care physicians who are licensed in all 50 states. Cost of the telephone consultation is often less than the fee for an office or emergency room visit, the company says.

TelaDoc requires patients to register to become a member of its service to receive care. While registration is free, it enables the company to acquire information about its patients to populate into an electronic health record for them.

Under the alliance with Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft Corp., TelaDoc physicians, with patient permission, can add encounter data from a telephone consultation to a patient’s HealthVault personal health record.

More information is available at teladoc.com and healthvault.com.
