Thoughts on telemedicine/telehealth in general?

Speaking as a patient, I appreciate having access to this when the problem doesn't require a hands-on, eyes-on exam. I know it's made a lot of overworked GP's lives easier. Almost everywhere is short of GP's right now and if they can reasonably care for a percentage of their appointments every day by phone, it's going to make for shorter waiting times for those who truly NEED to be seen.

Good for quick easy appointments that don’t require an exam or testing, for patients that have the capacity to use the technology.

Badddd for certain populations that arnt tech savvy or those that don’t realize they really should be seen in person for provider to be able to treat them.

ALSO: Payors need to be more transparent with patients on when telemedicine is covered and when it’s not. People have no idea that since the COVID emergency ended audio-only visits are usually not covered and it needs to be via video, AND the patient needs to be located IN the state that the provider is licensed in… all if which can also vary based on state medical board regulations …. Sooooo it can be very confusing for patients.

I don’t believe I said anything that would insinuate payors should close the option but rather push for it by being more transparent with the parameters. Payors don’t communicate anything to anyone and it’s tiring!
Also … efficient providers can and do see 15 min appts so I don’t believe telemedicine helps that at all. Coding is dependent on both time and complexity. So regardless of how long you book an appointment for the billing parameters don’t change.

Tomorrow they are requiring masks again and I was almost in tears when I found out. We have been mask free (recommended) since June and I feel like we are being muzzled again. I am vaccinated, frustrated, and have been off of antidepressants since March. I don’t even want to go into work tomorrow. Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.

As of late, my work related anxiety has reached new levels and it’s really starting to affect me mentally. I’m part of a great team; I’m trusted and supported, have a great track record, there are no issues, and have been no incidents. Regardless, my professional self perception and confidence is so rattled as of late, it’s almost like a paralysis at times. I realize there are much larger problems right now, but if anyone has any tips or advice to get over this, I am all ears. Thanks all!
