Patients say yes to provider email, but providers say no

Patients would love to connect with their healthcare providers online, but the providers aren't getting the message, according to a new study from Osterman Research and Health Industry News. While docs love to email each other, 82 percent of consumers say they've never received an email from their physician. Only 15 percent are able to schedule their appointments online. While 75 percent want to pay their medical bills online, only one in seven actually can.
