A study published in JAMA Health Forum found that many Medicare beneficiaries benefitted from the elimination of restrictions on out-of-state telehealth services during the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily those with cancer, rural residents, and those residing nearby state borders.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 95 percent of health centers used telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. This sharp uptake has prompted researchers to explore the effects of telehealth and the populations that use it the most.
This study examined out-of-state telehealth data from January to June 2021. They selected this time period because it followed the abrupt onset of the pandemic and included vaccine distribution efforts.
