Abstract
Online health care marketplaces have emerged with the adoption of telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We further examine the sources of such price variation: observable characteristics of physicians, hospitals, and local markets explain slightly over half of this variation. The un- explained portion is greater for physician specialties where search frictions are likely larger.
