Months after becoming a publicly traded company, acute telemedicine provider SOC Telemed made its largest acquisition to date. It acquired specialty telemedicine provider Access Physicians for $194 million in cash and stock last week.
Unlike consumer-facing telemedicine companies, such as Doctor on Demand, SOC Telemed primarily sells its services to hospitals and clinics. It has a platform that lets hospitals build their own telemedicine programs, and offers consults from neurologists, psychiatrists, critical care physicians and pulmonologists.
