4 BIG REASONS Why

The Government Supports it

The SUPPORT Act requires reimbursement for physicians and other health practitioners who provide services at the same rate as an in-person visit. Medicaid currently supports telemedicine, other insurers will soon follow
The FCC voted unanimously to approve $100 million in funding for the proposed Connected Care Pilot Program to support Telehealth for low-income Americans

High Growth Predicted for Telemedicine

PwC’s Health Research Institute found that 72% of patients ages 18 to 44 and 43% of patients 45 and older would be willing to consult with a mental health provider virtually instead of in person
