The first visit to Teledoc for me was free. Future visits will cost only $10. People can get minor illnesses checked, like flu, seasonal allergies, skin problems, etc. Therapy is also a major area for these online med companies.

You can save your medical money for more important preventive health screenings that are done in person by local doctors.

An article from last year ...
The country spent $3.4 trillion on health care in 2016, a number that is projected to grow to $5.5 trillion by 2025. The study, by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, projects that the average growth in health spending will be even faster between 2016 and 2025, at 5.6 percent per year, driven by inflation in the cost of medical services and products and an aging population.
