Why Team Doctors Preferred Access?

Companies today find themselves competing in an ever-accelerating global economy where technology is exceeding our every expectation. Today business happens anywhere, at any time, and it doesn’t stop. But what happens when your most valued asset (employee, team member, star, champion, etc.) hits a bump in the road? What do you do then? How do you ensure that the bump is taken out of the equation? By adding that elite level of service called “Team Doctors Preferred Access,” these unforeseen situations will be put in the hands of experts. With TDPA at your fingertips, employees and their families’ healthcare issues have been removed from the equation allowing your business to continually move forward unhindered by “unforeseen events”.

The TDPA distinguished network of specialists can reach to the highest level of care in each specialty and can tap exclusive networks in an expedited fashion for appointments and care. Ordinarily, access to these distinguished physicians is extremely difficult and may take weeks or months to get access, if access is even possible. TDPA is like getting a “fast pass” in these situations since colleagues call colleagues for expedited appointments, and subsequent care. Dr. Mickey Mellman, TD for the Los Angeles sports franchises, summed it best when he said “we treat our members like our players.”


Real life examples of how Team Doctors experience has worked:
