    MVP Health Care of Schenectady has become the first health insurer in the Capital Region to reimburse physicians for “virtual house calls.”
    It launched the pilot program Oct. 1 in cooperation with Mohawk Valley Medical Associates, using RelayHealth’s patient and physician online communication services.
    MVP spokesman Gary Hughes said 22,000 physicians are eligible to use the new technology. Mohawk Valley Medical Associates, an independent physician association in Schenectady, is offering physicians immediate reimbursement and subsidies to defray expenses to introduce the technology.
    “There is a tremendous convenience factor for patients with non-urgent conditions. For a lot of them, getting to a doctor means missing a half day of work, or shuffling child care,” Hughes said. ..............>>>>................>>>>........................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r00604&AppName=1

...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
