Insurance companies are starting to cover Doctor’s “Web Visits”. Think of all the time you spend on a doctor’s visit. Not the time with the actual doctor but all the rest:
- Drive to doctor’s office (20 minutes)
- Sign in (5 minutes)
- Waiting room (15 minutes)
- Waiting in examining room (15 minutes)
- Drive home (20 minutes)
That is 1 hour and 15 minutes (70 minutes). As many of you know, this time is quite conservative. The time can easily double. Imagine just getting a fraction of this time back all over the country.
Interestingly enough the cost is pretty low, $25 to $45, less if insured. http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB124977187174117097.html
