What does the TeleDirectMD symptom checker do?

The TeleDirectMD symptom checker is a free screening tool that helps you determine whether your health concern may be appropriate for a telemedicine video visit, requires in-person care at an ER or urgent care, or needs immediate emergency attention. It screens 50 common conditions across five categories: virtual urgent care, skin and allergy, lifestyle medicine, men's health, and chronic medication refills.

Is the symptom checker a diagnosis?

No. The symptom checker is an educational screening tool designed and reviewed by a board-certified family medicine physician. It does not provide diagnoses, treatment plans, or medical advice. It helps you understand what level of care may be appropriate based on the symptoms you report. A physician will make the final clinical determination during your visit.

How much does a TeleDirectMD video visit cost?

TeleDirectMD offers a flat fee of $49 per video visit with a board-certified family medicine physician. No insurance is required. This includes the consultation, an evidence-based treatment plan, and same-day prescriptions when clinically appropriate.

What conditions can TeleDirectMD treat via telemedicine?

TeleDirectMD treats 50 conditions via telemedicine including urinary tract infections, sinus infections, pink eye, acne, eczema, cold sores, erectile dysfunction, seasonal allergies, and chronic medication refills for hypertension, asthma, migraines, hypothyroidism, diabetes, and more. The symptom checker screens all 50 conditions to determine if your concern is telemedicine-appropriate.

In how many states is TeleDirectMD available?
