Who qualifies as a dependent?
While the requirements may vary based on your specific plan, most plans do allow you to use Teladoc Health for your spouse or partner, children, and care recipients.

On the web: After logging in, select My Family on the menu across the top of your screen, click on My Dependents in the drop-down menu, then click on Add New Dependent.
Enter the following information for each person:
- Relationship

- Phone number
- Email address
On the app, tap Continue. On the web, click the Add New Dependent button.
Your new dependents will receive confirmation emails with three simple steps to set up their accounts online.
