I have a coworker with some health issues who is contemplating this instead of filing for disability.

Yes it is! I know my dear friend would climb the walls stuck at home all the time. Her doctor was the one who recommended it to her as an alternative toworking outside her home.

our hospice uses an out of state company for our off hours triaging. It's not Fonemed but similar. I've spoken to a few of the nurses and they love it. They seem to err on the side of caution and send out our on call nurses more than when we used to triage ourselves. We tended to try to problem solve over the phone first. I think it's out of concern for liability. I would definitely carry my own liability insurance (not just the company's) if I did it.

good luck to your friend
