The use of telehealth programs grew by 6.5% in April 2022, following a decline in utilization in March 2022, according to the Monthly Telehealth Regional Tracker.
COVID-19 returned to the top five national diagnoses via telehealth, with April being the first month since January 2022, where COVID-19 was in the top five diagnoses.
The rise in telehealth COVID diagnoses matches up with CDC data showing a surge of cases in April.
The Monthly Telehealth Regional Tracker uses data representing the privately insured, including Medicare Advantage. The data does not include the population using Medicare Fee-for-Service and Medicaid.
