Teladoc Health (TDOC) announced the acquisition of Livongo Health in August 2020. The merger did not appeal to the investors at the time, but over time, Teladoc Health’s management concludes that it was the right decision to work together.
Livongo has integrated its hypertension and diabetes solutions into Teladoc Health’s telemedicine programs due to the deal. However, company management pointed out that this decision would lead to improved care results and reduced costs of attracting new users. Teledoc Health reports the first changes six months after the merger.

It supplied a service to Livongo customers—overall, cross-selling between the two companies grew by more than twofold in the last quarter. Thus, Teladoc Health’s goal of collecting $500 million in savings from the merger is achievable.
