Patient safety always comes first. ### Pricing **Does TeleDirectMD accept insurance?** No. TeleDirectMD is a direct-pay practice. The $49 visit fee covers the entire consultation. Patients may request a superbill (itemized receipt with CPT and ICD-10 codes) to submit to their insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. **How much does a visit cost?** $49 per visit. This is a flat fee that covers the complete video consultation, clinical evaluation, treatment plan, and any prescriptions sent to your pharmacy. There are no hidden fees, copays, follow-up charges, or subscription costs. **What payment methods are accepted?** TeleDirectMD accepts all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover). Payment is collected at the time of booking through the secure online portal. **What is the cancellation policy?** If you need to cancel or reschedule, do so at least 2 hours before your appointment for a full refund. Late cancellations and no-shows may not be eligible for a refund. ### Visit Experience **How do I book?** Visit https://teledirectmd.com/book-online/, select your condition and state, choose an available time slot, and complete payment ($49). You'll receive a confirmation email with a link to join your video visit. **How soon can I be seen?** Most patients are seen the same day, often within hours of booking. Availability depends on the current schedule, but TeleDirectMD prioritizes same-day access for urgent care needs. **What should I have ready?** Have a list of your current medications, any known allergies, relevant medical history, and your preferred pharmacy name and address. For skin conditions, good lighting and a clear camera view of the affected area are helpful. For medication refills, having your current prescription bottle nearby is recommended. **Do I need an app?** No. TeleDirectMD uses a web-based video platform that works in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. No app download is required. **Is my information secure?** Yes. TeleDirectMD uses HIPAA-compliant technology for all video visits, medical records, and communications. Your personal health information is encrypted and protected in accordance with federal privacy regulations. ### Work Notes **Can I get a work note?** Yes. Dr. Bhavsar can provide a work/school note documenting your visit if requested during your appointment. The note will confirm that you were seen for a medical evaluation on the date of your visit. **Does TeleDirectMD complete FMLA or disability paperwork?** No. TeleDirectMD does not complete FMLA forms, disability paperwork, or other extended documentation. These require an ongoing physician-patient relationship and are best handled by your primary care provider. **How do I access my visit summary?** A detailed visit summary including your diagnosis, treatment plan, and any prescriptions is provided after each visit. You can access it through your patient portal or request a copy via email at contact@teledirectmd.com. --- ## Internal Link Structure TeleDirectMD's website has the following URL structure: ### Squarespace-hosted pages (proxied through Vercel) - `https://teledirectmd.com/` — Homepage - `https://teledirectmd.com/about/` — About page - `https://teledirectmd.com/book-online/` — Booking page - `https://teledirectmd.com/what-we-treat/` — Conditions overview - `https://teledirectmd.com/faq/` — FAQ - `https://teledirectmd.com/reviews/` — Patient reviews - `https://teledirectmd.com/media-mentions/` — Press coverage - `https://teledirectmd.com/our-story/` — About the founder - `https://teledirectmd.com/states-we-serve/` — State list - `https://teledirectmd.com/virtual-urgent-care/` — Service overview - Legal pages: /privacy-policy/, /terms-of-use/, /notice-of-privacy-practices/, /good-faith-estimate/, /nondiscrimination-notice/, /accessibility/, /informed-consent/ ### Vercel-hosted pages (statically generated) - `https://teledirectmd.com/{condition-slug}/` — 50 national condition pages - `https://teledirectmd.com/{state-abbr}/` — 39 state landing pages - `https://teledirectmd.com/{state-abbr}/{condition-slug}/` — 1,950 state-specific condition pages - `https://teledirectmd.com/health-guides/{guide-slug}/` — 40 health guides ### Static assets - `https://teledirectmd.com/sitemap.xml` — XML sitemap - `https://teledirectmd.com/llms.txt` — LLM reference (this file's shorter version) - `https://teledirectmd.com/llms-full.txt` — LLM full reference (this file) - `https://teledirectmd.com/logo.webp` — Logo --- ## Legal and Compliance - LegitScript-certified telehealth provider - HIPAA-compliant platform (video, records, communications) - Board-certified physician (Dr. Parth Bhavsar, MD) - Licensed in 39 U.S. states - No Surprises Act compliant (Good Faith Estimate provided to all patients) - Nondiscrimination notice posted per Section 1557 of the ACA - ADA-compliant accessibility statement - Informed consent obtained before every visit - Privacy practices disclosed per HIPAA requirements - Direct-pay model — no insurance billing, clear $49 pricing --- ## Contact - Website: https://teledirectmd.com - Booking: https://teledirectmd.com/book-online/ - Phone: 678-956-1855 - Email: contact@teledirectmd.com - Address: 913 South Perry Street, Lawrenceville, GA 30046, United States - Social Media: - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teledirectmd/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/teledirectmd - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@teledirectmd - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/teledirectmd - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@teledirectmd
