S Korea: Doctors, pharmacists to receive 30% bonus for offering telemedicine service
#1

Telemedicine connects doctors with patients through information and telecommunications technology, instead of face-to-face appointments.

Patients suffering from chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes can use telemedicine if they have visited the same clinic at least once within a year for relevant treatment. Others can also use the service when they have visited the same clinic at least once within 30 days to treat the same disease.

As for pediatric patients, the service in principle is not permitted if they are first-time patients. But medical consultations through telemedicine will be offered during holidays and at night, even for first-time patients. Prescriptions for medications will not be offered in this instance.
