Post COVID-19 Will Telemedicine replace Traditional Medicine?

Abstract

Telehealth services have grown exponentially in 2020. Both the government and more than 275 technology companies have made significant investments in this new industry. The Trump Administration has streamlined the process to benefit 13.7 million Medicare Advantage enrollees. Amwell, the leading telemedicine company in the United States received a $100 million investment from Google, plus $100 million towards a pilot program from the FCC. Attorneys will be affected because any life care plan attributes the largest expense to the hiring of a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), and their services are being impacted by telehealth technology in the last five years. Thanks to telehealth technology, nurses can work remotely, and this may lower the cost of support care mentioned in the life care plans that attorneys use.
