What I noticed is that to not lose money, they need lots of brief visits. Do the checkup, come in later to review the test results, then schedule a follow-up to decide on a referral (or not). Everything after the first visit could have been done with a (voice-only) phone call. Maybe video visits were supposed to make it easier to generate billing with less driving, but it didn't work out that way. Ultimately I went with an HMO, where the doctors can provide the same minimal amount of care but not jump through hoops to do it.
