FYI, Medicare and Medicaid now (as of April 30) reimburse audio-only
visits at the same rate as video visits, to address exactly the
problem you're having (technology limiting medication access).

Of course that's U.S-only.  I couldn't tell whether you're
in the U.S because right now `whois` is unresponsive.  Also,
other U.S insurance alternatives may not have the same options.
