FAQs:

Are e-consults covered or reimbursed by health insurance?  Typically, no. Though some insurance plans are exploring the advantages to their subscribers and to their financial bottom line of covering email-based services from physicians, no plans offer this at present.

I have always emailed Dr. Bibeault in the past for free. Why do I have to pay for it now?  Dr. Bibeault is pleased to be one of the few physicians in our region who offers patients direct access to their doctor via email. This feature of her practice has been much appreciated by patients, but creates a large daily burden of uncompensated work. In order to continue offering this benefit to her patients, the doctor has chosen to charge a small fee.  Emailing the doctor is still free of charge if you simply wish to pass along information and do not require a response.  And, of course, you are always welcome to schedule an office visit rather than use email to address your needs.

Is e-consult appropriate for any question or need that I have? No. E-consults are not designed to address urgent needs, such as when a patient is suicidal or otherwise experiencing severe emotional symptoms. Similarly, if a patient is seeking to stop, switch or adjust medications, an office visit is usually more appropriate.

What sort of response can I expect? Generally, the doctor will spend 10 to 15 minutes thinking about, researching and writing her reply to you. If you have included multiple questions in your email or the issue is particularly complex, Dr. Bibeault will respond as completely as the 10 to 15 minutes allows, but may suggest you initiate a second e-consult or follow-up with an office visit for more ideal care.
