Telemedicine & COVID-19

Because of COVID-19, many insurances cover telemedicine and online doctor prescriptions at this time. Benefits of telemedicine during the pandemic include the fact that you can stay at home and not have to come to the hospital and subject yourself to other possibly contagious patients.
In-person visits may be needed prior to and after telehealth visits.
