National telehealth utilization increased 1.9% month-over-month among the privately insured population in November 2022, following a one-month period of decline, according to a new analysis from Fair Health’s monthly tracker. The increase follows a bump in COVID-19 virtual diagnoses, which rose to the third most frequently diagnosed condition from its fifth place spot in October, after falling off the top five diagnoses completely in previous months. In November, 5.3% of medical claim lines were billed as telehealth visits, compared to 5.2% in October, when national telehealth utilization declined by 3.7%. Fair Health analyzes privately insured medical claims, including Medicare Advantage visits, but excluding both Medicare fee-for-service and Medicaid.
