Virtual office visits appeal to patients, physicians, insurers -- OrlandoSentinel.com

Virtual office visits appeal to patients, physicians, insurers -- OrlandoSentinel.com: "The cost to her for the online consultation: zero. Her insurance company, Cigna, paid Dienst $35 for the virtual office visit, and under her health plan Steinert had no co-pay (compared with a $20 co-pay for an office visit). 'I'm not into computers,' said Steinert, 57. 'But this was easy. It's a good idea.'

It's a good idea for doctors, too, said Dienst, who is among the first physicians in Central Florida to conduct online, reimbursed consultations with patients. With three major health-insurance plans now reimbursing physicians for online consultations, Dienst expects he'll soon have plenty of company."
