We’re going to see telemedicine improve and take off, and though it will take years, distance medicine will become more normal versus the unusual situation it is now. Telemedicine is just another outlet to be able to provide care for patients from their home settings or from skilled-nursing facilities. If they authorize payment for Medicare patients for telemedicine, or if you see more Medicare Advantage and managed Medicare, telemedicine is a shoo-in. It just makes sense to be able to care for the patient population more effectively.
