Teladoc Partners With Amazon to Expand Chronic Care Program Reach

Read MoreHide Full Article

Teladoc Health, Inc. (TDOC - Free Report) recently announced a partnership with Amazon to enhance its market reach by joining Amazon's Health Benefits Connector. This collaboration will enable eligible Amazon customers to discover and enroll in Teladoc’s chronic condition management programs, including diabetes, hypertension, pre-diabetes, and weight management.

This move bodes well for Teladoc Health as it might increase enrollment for its chronic condition programs, which cater to over 1 million active enrollees. It leverages connected devices, personalized coaching, and data-driven insights to drive sustainable behavior change and improve cardiometabolic health. This partnership with Amazon addresses a critical barrier to adoption—awareness—by integrating Teladoc’s solutions into Amazon’s health-focused ecosystem.

TDOC’s total chronic care program enrollment increased 5% year over year in the third quarter of 2024. Rising enrollment from existing and new clients might help push this figure upward in the future. This partnership positions the company to capture a larger share of the digital health market by tapping into Amazon's vast user base. Given that more than half of U.S. adults suffer from at least one chronic disease, the potential for increased enrollment is substantial.

Amazon’s Health Benefits Connector, a rebranded and evolving service, surfaces relevant health benefits to customers during product searches, simplifying the enrollment process. This collaboration bodes well with Teladoc’s strategy of improving access to care while maintaining convenience. Revenues in the Integrated Care segment are expected to witness low to mid-single-digit growth on a year-over-year basis.
