Bring On The E Visit Fast Track To Medical Delivery

E visits can be done with a video camera or just a telephone.  This saves a sick patient time and money by not having to travel to the clinic office.  E visits are not a face to face encounter with the medical provider.

E visit programs embrace conditions where increased levels of scientific evidence have established best practice leaving technology to safely recommend the most appropriate course of therapy.  Typically the prescribing provider will have had a face to face with the patient before conducting E visits.  In this fashion the technology is used along side the medical provider who carries the education, experience, instinct, and judgment to help support the decision making.

The patient to provider encounter would involve evaluating the submitted data in relation to the change of condition and medical history.  Current research suggests that the benefits to E visits exceeds the risks.  Often a medical provider with a full  clinic schedule can accommodate E visits.

The payer (insurance plan) saves money as well.  Two data points compare the cost to the insurance plan. 

E Visit reimbursement for symptoms of a urinary tract infection  $74.00
Office visit reimbursement for symptoms of a urinary tract infection $93.00
