Employees at MBS Textbook Exchange recently got what the company’s CEO and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield hope is the next best thing. Through a pilot program with the insurance company, MBS Textbook Exchange has introduced a high-tech kiosk employees can use to talk with doctors across the country.

“It makes it a very convenient way for our members to access a physician,” Anthem Regional Vice President Stephanie Vojicic said. “You don’t need this box to access this service.” Think about people with “small children in the middle of the night.”
