Telehealth use increasing most among non hospital-based providers

Dive Brief:

• Providers not based in hospitals are rapidly adopting telehealth, reaching about 1% of all claims studied by nonprofit FAIR Health in a recent white paper. In 2018, non hospital-based providers accounted for 84% of all telehealth claims, up from 52% in 2014.
• Those most likely to use telehealth services were people aged 31 to 40, accounting for 21% of claims. Women used telehealth more often than men, according to the report, which analyzed more than 29 billion private health claims records.
• The conditions most associated with telehealth use were upper respiratory infection, mood disorders and anxiety or other nonpyschotic mental disorders, FAIR Health said.
