Teladoc shelled out the large sum of cash to acquire a fellow leader in the virtual care space, California-based InTouch Health, in a deal that'll tie off by mid-2020, according to MedCity News. While InTouch is smaller in terms of bandwidth and revenue, the buy is slated to provide Teladoc with a revenue bump: It could tack on an extra 80 million to the 550 million Teladoc expects to rope in for full-year 2019.
