LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 8 KY-TalktoaDoc.org
LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Today marks the day that doctors
have finally embraced the technology age with the official launch of
TalktoaDoc.org. This new site allows patients to talk to doctors online using
text (keyboard), voice (microphone), and/or video (webcam). This gives
patients a more convenient and interactive way to communicate with doctors
from a computer. TalktoaDoc.org is unique in that all conversations are done
live, not through message boards.
TalktoaDoc.org gives patients the first minute of the conversation free
and is $2.98 per additional minute thereafter. This allows patients to get
even simple questions answered without having to pay a high flat fee. No
insurance? No problem. TalktoaDoc.org does not go through insurance companies
so patients know the cost up front. This new innovative service does not
intend to replace regular doctor visits but supplement them. Doctors can be
found online at any time, not just during set hours.
Patients will be able to choose from the following departments to direct
their questions: All Departments (for general questions), Cardiology,
Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and
Surgery.
Other medical advice sites require patients to pay a yearly membership fee
and a high flat fee up front before they can even talk to a doctor. These
sites also have doctors who do not carry medical malpractice insurance.
TalktoaDoc.org does not require any money up front, gives patients the first
minute of the conversation free, and requires all doctors to carry medical
malpractice insurance and be licensed in the state in which the patient is
located.
TalktoaDoc.org donates a portion of its net proceeds to the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation in honor of its founder's brother who died of the disease
in 1994. For more information, please visit http://www.talktoadoc.org.
