Feeling sick? You may be able to see the doctor.. without leaving home. More doctors are conducting online exams! And insurance companies are supporting the concept-- so you can save time and money. Jennifer Rodriguez said online visits are the perfect solution for her busy schedule. "Other than my work, which is usually 8 -5, or 9-5, I have various different appointments, so I'm very busy during the week," she explained. That makes it tough to squeeze in doctors' appointments. So when Jennifer's not feeling well, she logs on to her computer for a virtual visit. It's simple: Log on, answer questions about her symptoms, and wait for answers. "It's very convenient for me. I can log in from home, I can log in from work," she showed us. Doctor Ann Mai is a family practitioner who has been offering online visits to patients for a while. "I'm online all day long," she explained. "So usually within 1 to 2 hours I get in touch with the patient and then decide whether they need to come in or continue the web visit and then prescribe if necessary or refer somewhere if necessary." Eventually, experts say 20% of doctors visits could be done online. Insurance companies are starting to buy into the idea as well, and some have begun reimbursing the cost of E-exams, as they're called. Doctor James King, who is with the American Academy of Family Physicians, told us why. "They're starting to try to work with physicians'' groups to come up with a way to pay for us providing these services that will supply quality care to the patients, but at a lesser cost." The academy supports the idea, but warns that only non-urgent medical conditions can really be handled online. And they caution-- don't underestimate the power of hands-on doctor contact. "Sometimes, it's just having you in the room so that we can carry on a dialogue, so I can examine you and make sure that there's no problems and then order appropriate tests that we can only do in the office to make sure you get the right care you need at the right time," Dr. King said. Jennifer agrees. She still sees her doctor when the problem is more complicated, but thinks going online has actually improved her health. "Without the convenience of the e-visits I would say I would not take as good care of my health as I currently do," she said. All e-visits are documented in patients' charts-- to refer to it in the future. There are also online doctors' offices springing up all over the internet. They charge by the minute or the session. But remember, it's not YOUR doctor, so he or she won't have your chart or your whole medical history to refer to.
