Telehealth’s Wild Growth in Medicare

Telehealth in primary care totally exploded for Medicare folks during the pandemic—jumping from just over 1,300 users to nearly 74,000! But get this: it was mostly younger, female, White patients and those with disabilities or kidney disease who used it most. Docs and psychiatrists got in on the action too, but there’s still a big digital divide. More access, more visits, but we’ve gotta fix those tech gaps for everyone to benefit! #Telehealth #Medicare #HealthEquity #DigitalDivide #PrimaryCare #Health
