How does Teladoc work?

It's quick and easy to get started.

  1. Visit Teladoc and set up an account using the information provided on your GuideStone ID card. You’ll also complete your medical history so that it’s easy for the Teladoc physician to access it when providing treatment. Or you can set up your account and provide your medical history by calling 1-800-TELADOC (1-800-835-2362). If they ask for your employer's name, be sure to tell them your coverage is provided through GuideStone/Highmark BCBS and provide the identification information from your ID card.
