Telehealth has been a steadily growing area of healthcare for several years now. The covid pandemic catapulted telehealth forward as it became necessary to maintain social distancing while receiving health services. According to the CDC telemedicine visits for one week at the end of March 2020 increased 154% from the same week in 2019.
With the increase in people using telehealth, more insurance carriers are covering these services now. Even Medicare and Medicaid are covering some telehealth services. Be sure to check with your insurance provider to verify what telehealth services are covered before using the service to be sure.
If you do not have health insurance or you have a high deductible. Seeing a doctor in a clinic for a minor health problem, such as a sinus infection. Is much more costly than using telehealth. If you need medication. Your telemedicine doctor can even call in a prescription for you to your local pharmacy.
Just a side note, to be aware of. Due to the potential for medication misuse and abuse. Tele Doctors can not legally prescribe medication that is considered a controlled substance. This would include certain anxiety medications, narcotic pain medication and there are others.
Telemedicine is a great option for general illnesses like sinus infections, urinary tract infections, the flu, and pink eye. You will quickly be on your way to feeling better from the comfort of your home. For routine medications such as birth control pills. Some services will deliver them via mail to your home.

Psychiatry and other services to help manage mental health such as depression are also available via telehealth.
