[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't read the whole thread, but personally I wish more PCP offices offered "concierge light" models. I don't want to spend $250 per month to retain the services of a doctor I see once or twice a year but I would spend $250 per year or an extra $50 per visit over two visits per year if it meant I could see the same 1-2 providers on a regular visit and didn't get rushed out of there. Same thing goes for our pediatric practice. [/quote]

I feel like Teledoc fills that role in my life now. For little sick visits, we just use that: it's immediate care at home. And the doctors we have had were always great.[/quote]

I'm the PP. This is good info, thank you! Will they call in prescriptions without seeing you in office? I ask because I have a home strep kit which is the exact same one the doctor's office uses. If I get a positive, I still have to go to the doctor and be seen in person and have them re-run the test. Same thing for a UTI. Last year those were the only two doctors visits I had and I couldn't be seen until the following day which meant a bunch of uncomfortable, wasted hours. I could literally do the test while on a video call so they'd be able to tell I wasn't faking it to get antibiotics but that's apparently not allowed at my current practice. If Teledoc allows something like that, sign me up.[/quote]
