Telemedicine
 

Telemedicine is a medical technology that should be available to all Virginians.  

Medicaid patients can greatly benefit by having better access to healthcare and their primary care physician.  With Medicaid patients in Virginia using telemedicine, this will be more cost effective than Medicaid patients using emergency rooms for their primary portal for healthcare.
