The merger is expected to allow the companies to deliver integrated, personalised, technology-based longitudinal healthcare.
Teladoc Health CEO Jason Gorevic said: “This merger firmly establishes Teladoc Health at the forefront of the next-generation of healthcare.
“Together, we will further transform the healthcare experience from preventive care to the most complex cases, bringing ‘whole person’ health to consumers and greater value to our clients and shareholders as a result.”
