Around rural NW Oklahoma, I can see it sticking around longer than most others. It's more convenient for many as to not travel half an hour from town to town for an appointment, especially for elderly.

The other day I chose to use it, just to follow up on new meds I'm taking, to see how I was feeling. I was able to continue doing things at home while waiting for the doctor to connect.

I doubt this would slide with many other places of work, I'm sure my work wouldn't mind I continued working at my desk while "on hold" to talk to my doctor, then step away when connected. Less down time of my work, and more pay towards my pocket, all around less expenses. I can only imagine it's faster and easier (some exceptions) for the doctors.
