The virtual care leader has integrated its diabetes, hypertension, and weight-management programs into Amazon's Health Benefits Connector. Translation? Millions of Amazon customers can now easily discover and enroll in Teladoc's chronic care solutions. With over 1 million active enrollees already on board, this move positions Teladoc to grab an even bigger slice of the digital healthcare pie.
