Is Online Health Care the New Doctor's Office? | Give It To Me Straight, Doc

Health care is changing fast, and more patients are turning to online platforms, telehealth visits, cash-pay options, prescription marketplaces and direct-to-consumer care to get what they need faster. In this episode of Give It To Me Straight, Doc, host Anjalee Khemlani breaks down the rise of direct-to-consumer health care and what it means for patients, doctors, pharmacies and the future of medicine. From Amazon One Medical and Sesame to GoodRx, GLP-1 weight loss medications, online prescriptions, pharmacy access, insurance frustrations and price transparency, this conversation looks at how health care is starting to feel more like e-commerce. As more people search for care online, compare prescription prices, pay cash for certain services and use telehealth as part of their medical journey, the traditional doctor’s office is no longer the only front door to health care. But what does that mean for privacy, quality, access and affordability? Presented by Tampa General Hospital and USF Health Morsani College of Medicine.
