The partnership provides active and retired NBA players and their families with preferred access to Teladoc Health’s industry-leading virtual care services, ensuring they receive consistent trusted care, even as they relocate from city to city throughout their careers.

"Through our partnership with Teladoc Health, we ensure our players and their families have uninterrupted, high-quality medical support no matter where the game takes them," said Matteo Zuretti, NBPA Chief Player Experience Officer. "Their dedication to seamless continuity of care, paired with access to premier services, makes them an ideal partner."

With a shared commitment to offer comprehensive, flexible care that is responsive to the unique demands of professional sports, all NBPA members and their families will have preferred access to Teladoc Health’s multidisciplinary virtual services, including primary care, 24/7 urgent care and preventive health screenings.

“Healthcare should fit seamlessly into people’s lives, including professional athletes and the families who support them,” said Brian Serfass, Chief Marketing Officer of U.S. Group Health at Teladoc Health. “With demanding schedules, frequent travel, relocations, and extended time away from home, professional sports families need care that is flexible, reliable and available. We’re proud to partner with the NBPA to help players and their families connect to consistent, personalized care. It’s a meaningful step in our ongoing commitment to meet people where they are, making care more connected and convenient to their everyday lives.”
