An Alliance for Connected Care study released in December estimates that virtual visits could save an average of $126 per visit. Researchers found on average, telehealth visits cost between $40 and $50, compared to an average estimated cost of $136 to $176 for an in-office visit.  

An Alliance for Connected Care study released in December estimates that virtual visits could save an average of $126 per visit. Researchers found on average, telehealth visits cost between $40 and $50, compared to an average estimated cost of $136 to $176 for an in-office visit.  

They also found that 83% of health conditions were resolved after a virtual visit. Of the remainder (patients whose conditions did not resolve), 10% went to an emergency department and about 50% had an in-office visit.  In addition, patients who were seen via telehealth reported that if the virtual visit was not available 5.6% would have sought treatment in an emergency department. Additionally:

Thus the future of healthcare will align a bit closer to the daily life we saw depicted in The Jetsons cartoons of our childhoods. It will be virtual for both professional and family caregivers.
