The Canine Review asks Embrace’s leaders to disclose the dollar amount in legal fees so far that this litigation is costing, a cost ultimately born out by Embrace’s policy holders through higher premiums.
Earlier in the discussion, several panelists had expressed frustration with respect to telemedicine and its lack of legislative progress relative to telemedicine in human healthcare.
“I think the AVMA has a very important role to play,” vet telemedicine company Vetster medical director Dr. Sarah Machell, BSc, DVM told the conference. “From what I can see, sitting up on top of the United States , they have a lot of clout. They have over a hundred thousand members.
