Telehealth Visits Unlikely to Require In-Person Follow-Up Within 90 Days

Key Findings

In nearly every specialty studied, most patients who had a telehealth visit did not require an in-person follow-up appointment in that specialty in the next three months.

For specialties that required follow-up, the additional visits were likely related to needing additional care, not duplicative care (for example, obstetrics, geriatrics).
