There’s No Such Thing as a Casual Interaction With Your Doctor Anymore

Many calls and messages now count as a “visit” that you could be charged for.

For patients, being able to reach their doctors by video visit, phone call, or email is incredibly convenient, but physicians have been overwhelmed by the constant communication. This cost is now being shifted back to the patients, and almost every interaction with a doctor, no matter how casual, counts as some form of “visit” now.
