“When Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida Inc. began covering digital doctor’s appointments, they were the first in the state to make an e-visit a billable service.
Five years later, a handful of other insurance companies including Aetna Inc. and Cigna Corp. have followed suit.
Adoption has been slow, but Blue Cross said more doctors and patients are considering e-visits. About 1,000 health care providers have signed up for the service through Blue Cross, and the number of patients who enrolled had grown to more than 600,000 last month, nearly doubling from a year earlier.”
