Teladoc, Inc. (formerly Teladoc Medical Services) is a telehealth company that uses telephone and videoconferencing technology to provide on-demand remote medical care via mobile devices, the internet, video and phone.[1] The company had its initial public offering on July 1, 2015.

Business

Teladoc provides access to board-certified, state-licensed physicians 24 hours a day for non-emergency medical issues such as allergies, bronchitis, pink eye, sinus problems, and ear infection via audio-video technology for consultations regarding medical advice, diagnoses and basic prescription medications.[2] The company bills itself as a telehealth provider due to its function of facilitating "remote house calls by primary care doctors". However, United States Department of Health and Human Services states that the term telehealth covers a broader range including "non-clinical services, such as provider training, administrative meetings, and continuing medical education" and that the term telemedicine means "remote clinical services".[3] Its competitors include PlushCare,[4] American Well, MDLIVE Inc., Doctor On Demand, and Carena.[5][6]

Metrics

On the eve of its July 1 IPO, the company was billed as the first and largest telehealth platform in the United States.[7] The number of visits facilitated in 2014 was 299,000 and 149,000 during the first quarter of 2015.[8] The company had 8.1 million members in 2014 and 10.6 by the end of the first quarter of 2015.[8] By the end of the first quarter of 2015, the company has 4000 clients including 160 of the Fortune 1000 companies.[8]

Acquisitions

The company has made three acquisitions: Consult A Doctor for $16.6 million cash in August 2013; AmeriDoc for $17.2 million in May 2014; and BetterHelp for $3.5 million in cash and a $1.0 million promissory note in January 2015.[8]

Funding

In September 2014, the company held a series F round of venture capital funding for $50 million which raised its venture backing to over $100 million and its market valuation to over #300 million.[9] Some of its earlier funding rounds included $9 million in December 2009,[10] $4 million in January 2011,[11] $18.6 million in September 2011,[12] and $15 million in September 2013.[13] On April 29, 2015, the company submitted preliminary confidential IPO paperwork, and on May 29, 2015 it publicly filed for its IPO.[14][15] On July 1, 2015, the company went public with a New York Stock Exchange-listed IPO at $19 per share, which gave the company a market capitalization of $758 million and an enterprise value of $620 million.[16] The initial response to the IPO was good: shares surged 50% on the opening day to close at $28.50,[3] after opening at $29.90 and trading as high as $31.90.[17]
