If you live in a rural location or cannot make a doctor’s appointment outside of working hours, telehealth companies may be a good option. Our team carefully vets the telehealth companies in our articles to make sure you choose the right one for your needs.
We follow the vetting guidelines set by our sister brand, Healthline. Any telehealth company we recommend or work with is thoroughly vetted by our team for:
- medical credibility
- company reputation
- good business practices
Our team regularly updates our roundup of the best telemedicine companies. Once companies have passed vetting, our editorial team considers whether they do the following before including them on our page:
- offer a range of care, such as urgent, primary, and mental health care
- offer care suitable for a range of budgets
- accept insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid
- offer prescriptions and allow people to pick up their medication at a convenient pharmacy
- offer accessibility options, such as apps and different language options
