Access to quality healthcare shouldn’t depend on where you live or what time it is. That’s why Farm Bureau Health Plans (FBHP) members get convenient access to telehealth services through Teladoc Health. So you and your family can get trusted care whenever and wherever you need it.
If you have a nighttime fever or a quick question about a minor illness, Teladoc helps you talk to a doctor easily. You don't have to wait days for an appointment or even leave your house.
What Is Telehealth?
Telehealth allows you to receive care from licensed providers remotely, using a smartphone, computer, or tablet. With Teladoc, FBHP members can talk to a doctor or mental health professional anytime, from anywhere—day or night.
If you live in a rural area, work long hours, or need help after clinic hours, telehealth makes it easier to get high-quality care. Teladoc is a modern healthcare option that meets our members where they are.
When to Use Telehealth
A telehealth appointment is a convenient option for common, non-emergency issues like:
• Colds and flu
• Allergies or sinus problems
• Sore throat or upset stomach
• Rashes or minor skin issues
• Mental health concerns such as anxiety or stress
• Prescription refills
A licensed provider can evaluate your symptoms, answer your questions, and if needed, even send prescriptions to your preferred pharmacy. A telehealth urgent care visit can help with many health issues. It can save you money, a trip to the clinic, and help you feel better sooner.
Specialty Support at Your Fingertips
Teladoc goes beyond general medical care. Users also have access to:
• Mental health support from licensed therapists and psychiatrists
• Help managing ongoing conditions like diabetes or asthma
• Nutrition counseling
• Skin care advice from board-certified dermatologists
This flexibility helps you get care that fits your lifestyle, because we all know health doesn’t run on a schedule.
