Key Benefits of Telemedicine for Doctors and Patients

Even for those with good health insurance, doctors and therapists can be costly. Telemedicine appointments are typically less expensive than in-person visits. This lowers out-of-pocket costs and removes a barrier to care.
Fremont, CA: Telemedicine refers to the ability of healthcare providers to consult with patients over the phone or via video.
This practice has existed almost as long as telephones, but it has grown in popularity and utility during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Technological advancements and changes in insurance reimbursement policies have aided in the acceptance of telemedicine. Doctors and therapists would be unable to connect with patients as easily without it, especially during the pandemic.
As telemedicine has grown in popularity, professionals and patients have become more at ease communicating virtually.
Benefits
Easy Access to Specialists
Not everyone has an ongoing relationship with a doctor to whom they can turn when they are in need. Many online medical networks provide 24-hour access to a wide range of specialists, without the need for an appointment, at any time of day or night.
Reduced Cost
Even for those with good health insurance, doctors and therapists can be costly. Telemedicine appointments are typically less expensive than in-person visits. This lowers out-of-pocket costs and removes a barrier to care.
Medical Access for People without Health Insurance
Inability to see a doctor due to a lack of adequate health insurance can be a barrier. Many online businesses offer cash-pay telemedicine, which does not necessitate health insurance or referrals.
Reduced exposure to pathogens Long waits in doctor's waiting rooms.
