The American Medical Association Council on Medical Service recently
issued a report emphasizing the importance and value of telemedicine
services and encourages reimbursement by private insurers for similar
doctor on-call telemedicine services, which are currently covered
under Medicaid in nearly half the country. As more employers and
private insurers adopt similar policies, the market for this type of
telemedicine services in the U.S. is expected to generate $3.6
billion in annual revenue over the next five years, according to a
study by research firm Pike & Fischer.
