You're paid better if Teledoc is included within an Injury plan. Nice service to have if/when needed, but rarely worth $15 a month.

I knew Lee had been around a while just didn't know how long and yes he is very knowledgeable and I've always respected his opinion's and expertise on here. It's in house agent's and call center's that have sprung up in the past 3 or 4 years that tend to give out the wrong information.
I have a $75 specialist copay to see my gastro and get them to prescribe generic prevacid (because free generics!) They will only give me 90 day scripts, wants me to come back for a follow up for a script refresh.
Call teladoc, they send script to my local CVS.
$15/month, $45 every 90 days, whole hell of a lot less than my $75 copay, and I don't have to take 3 hours off work and drive across town in mid-day NY traffic.
(In my situation, it's free with my insurance, just wanted to show a real-life scenario where the $15 makes complete sense).

We are losing a carrier that fights for us, and feels our pain.
Unlike the other "go along, don't piss off CMS/Obama" carriers.
Silence the loud ones. We don't like whistleblowers
On the Third Hand: Competition | LifeHealthPro
Assurant executives have been a little more blunt. They have complained, for example, about matters such as the government's last-minute changes in insurance market rules.
n the long run, it seems as if one advantage of keeping smaller players in the insurance game is preserving a vibrant market in ideas about how to improve the game.
On the third hand, maybe the reality is that the unfortunate problems exchanges have had with connecting with producers, and the effects of regulatory uncertainty on the smaller insurers, are completely intentional.
Maybe health insurance policymakers' real goal is to reduce the number of insurers as much as possible, and to reduce the number of independent, or semi-independent observers, in a position to understand what's going on as much as possible.
Maybe it will be much easier to pretend to offer higher quality, more comprehensive coverage at a lower price if no pesky Assurant executives or brokers are close enough to the sausage factory to tell us what the sausage really looks like...
