Looking over the article, and guessing, here.
This isn't likely to be a what a phone appointment is.
A phone appointment is what it sounds like. A set time, generally within normal office hours, pre-arranged, for the doctor and patient to speak.
It's simply a way of not taxing the patient with travel, especially if they need to travel any significant distance like to the next town.
