Are you interested in telemedicine? I have been hearing about telemedicine since 2006. As the bandwidth increases and digital displays are becoming better and better, telemedicine certainly is an option a lot of medical providers are considering. Some specialties simply cannot see patients via telemedicine on the first visit, but following up can definitely be a viable option.

Telemedicine is not a fit for all specialties. Some require various procedures and diagnostic testing to fully diagnose the patient. Still, for follow up appointments and prescription refill appointments, I think it would be convenient for both the patient and the physician. We just have to understand the insurance coverage.
