Managing Psoriatic Arthritis with Telemedicine: Is It Right for Me?

Virtual conferencing has been growing more and more, from offices to hospitals. For people with chronic illnesses like psoriatic arthritis, telemedicine can make managing the disease a little easier. Not every type of appointment can happen virtually, so when is telemedicine the right fit?

There are many benefits to using telemedicine for your healthcare needs. Telemedicine may help protect immunosuppressed patients and slow the spread of viral diseases in waiting rooms. It might also save you money and time (especially when it comes to your commute). Some insurance companies even offer less expensive copays for virtual visits.
