  • Publication number: 20150242584
    Abstract: A device that allows professional service providers and patients/clients to communicate via video and telecommunications, while also allowing the service providers to bill for their time. The device can be a standalone device that is designed specifically for this purpose or a program that either the patient/client, the provider, or both, can download to either a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Among other things, the device can allow a patient/client to select from a group of service providers by filtering via various categories. Professional service providers will be able to bill the patient/client for his time via the device. In some instances the service provider will bill by a given time period, in other instances that service provider will charge a flat fee. In some embodiments the service provider will have the ability to adjust a predetermined fee after servicing the patient.
