: Online doctor consultation? I'm interested in paying a doctor to chat with me online to help explain my blood test results. Does such a thing exist? And do you know of any affordable good options?

Teladoc is one that is offered as a benefit from the company that I work for, when enrolling in their health insurance. I don't know what the price would be if you're not on a health insurance plan that covers them, but I can tell you that, for me, the copay for Teladoc is about 1/4 the copay of seeing a doctor in person, for the particular health insurance plan that I'm currently enrolled in.

I have no affiliation with the company, other than that they're offered as a benefit from the company I work for. I don't know if they offer service without a membership or not.

I've found there are other similar services, such as
www.doctorondemand.com/
or
www.mdlive.com/
The pharmacy Walgreens also lists the service, but they seem to use one of the previously mentioned services (MDLive): www.walgreens.com/topic/pharmacy/virtualdoctor.jsp
Hope that helps.
