GUILD SPONSORED TELEMEDICINE BENEFIT EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2015 PLEASE SIGN UP

Guild members,

Tomorrow on July 1st,  your membership to Teladoc will begin.  Be on the lookout for an email from Abby Daniels from CADRplus with instructions on how to activate your account.

 

You will be able to activate on line at member.teladoc.com/registrations or by phone at 800-835-2362.

 

We are offering this benefit because over 140, many unnecessary, emergency room visits resulted in increased renewal premiums of our health care coverage.  Your utilization of telemedicine will play a significant role in keeping the fund’s cost down.

 

Starting tomorrow, once you activate your account, you and your family will have 24/7 access to doctors in minutes who can answer your questions, diagnose common conditions and prescribe necessary medications.

 

We are pleased to provide this new benefit to you and your family.  Please be sure the Guild has your current personal email and home addresses on file.

 

If you have any questions about this new benefit, please contact Bill Ross at bross@local-10.com.

 

In solidarity,

 

Howard Gensler
