I've never used a telehealth option.  Can a doctor prescribe pharmaceuticals after a telehealth consultation?

---

@deepwaterdotter Yes they can.  I have used Teledoc a couple times with my kids for simple things like a rash or a cold.  They called in a prescription to the pharmacy of my choice.  Best part as part of my benefits Teledoc services are $0 but if I had that appointment with the Dr I would have paid $35.

I have an appointment with my PCP today....by telephone.  I'm interested in knowing how we're going  to do my quarterly blood test.

@Kachina624  I am curious about that also. I have taken the same meds for years but have to have blood tests every so often or pharmacy will not fill prescription .

i haven't use televisit either, but i have had contact dermatitis several times. i think that is something drs could see and prescribe rx and save us both time and money.

My doctor did "televisit" to give me test results.  You better believe they made sure they could BILL medicare!!!
