Vivianne Robinson, the HR Director for University Advancement, was especially grateful for Teladoc\u2019s 24\/7 service, \u201cMy husband has used it twice \u2013 the first time was 2 a.m.! They were great, fast and free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jayme Bisard is a Secretary for the MSU Intercollegiate Athletics department and she agrees Teladoc is super convenient: \u201cI called for a very basic, minor thing. It didn\u2019t cost any money and I had a prescription called in that I could pick up right at lunch!\u201d Using Teladoc is free for most MSU employees enrolled in an MSU health plan, the exception being those who enroll in the CDHP with HSA health plan. These folks will pay the full charge until their annual deductible is met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sounds great!
