  • They diverge on capability: Paige covers Paige Prostate Detect, Teladoc Health covers Video Consultations.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Paige

  • The FDA authorisation is confined to prostate core needle biopsies, on compatible scanners, viewed through FullFocus, as an adjunct only; every other tissue type and every grading claim is outside that authorisation in the United States.
  • The algorithm is worthless without a digital pathology programme already running, and slide scanning, storage and workflow typically cost far more than the software licence.
  • Tempus acquired Paige in 2025, so the roadmap now competes for attention inside a genomics-led business, and the pathology-only buyer is no longer the primary customer.
  • Scanner compatibility is a hard constraint rather than a preference, and a laboratory with an unsupported scanner fleet cannot use the authorised indication at all.
  • Pricing is per case or per slide and unpublished, so a laboratory cannot model cost per reported case without entering a sales process.

Teladoc Health

  • Does not accept traditional Medicare or Medicaid, only Medicare Advantage and managed care plans
  • Providers cannot prescribe DEA-controlled substances or certain medications including erectile dysfunction drugs
  • Cannot handle medical emergencies; users must call 911 for emergency care

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Paige: What exactly is FDA authorised?

Paige Prostate Detect, as an adjunct for identifying areas of interest on digitised prostate core needle biopsy slides, viewed through the Paige FullFocus viewer on a compatible scanner. Nothing else in the portfolio holds that authorisation in the United States.

Teladoc Health: Does Teladoc work with traditional Medicare or Medicaid?

No. Teladoc only works with Medicare Advantage and Medicaid managed care plans, not traditional fee-for-service Medicare or Medicaid programs.

Source
Paige: Is the European position broader?

Yes. The Paige Prostate suite including grading and quantification received IVDR certification in 2025, which covers more than the United States authorisation.

Teladoc Health: How quickly can I get an appointment with Teladoc?

For ASAP visits, wait times are typically just a few minutes. For General Medical, most issues are resolved in 15 minutes or less.

Source
Paige: What did the pivotal study measure?

Pathologist cancer detection on individual slide images improved, with reported reductions in false negative and false positive readings. It measured pathologist performance with the tool, not standalone algorithm accuracy.

Teladoc Health: What medications can Teladoc providers prescribe?

Providers do not prescribe DEA-controlled substances, erectile dysfunction medications, or certain other drugs. GLP-1 medications are only available through Primary Care or Condition Management programs.

Source
Paige: Who owns Paige now?

Tempus AI acquired Paige in 2025. Products remain branded Paige.

Teladoc Health: What is the cost of Teladoc visits without insurance?

General Medical visits cost 89 USD per visit without insurance. Other services like dermatology and mental health vary by service type.
