Video Appointment vs. Real Doctor's Visit?

Between the drive to the office and waiting time once you arrive, seeing your doctor can end up taking hours. As a time-saving option, Blue Cross is rolling out a new service this Fall — video doctor visits. You connect with your doc via video on your computer, avoiding the office entirely. These medical video chats will not only save time but prevent the spread of germs as well.

Watch the video below for more details, and tell me if you'd be into video visits with your doctor.
