Abstract

The US COVID-19 public health emergency and related legislation facilitated a rapid acceleration of telehealth/telemedicine services by removing restrictions on patient and clinician location, waiving interstate licensure requirements, and providing for professional fee reimbursement on-par with in-person services. Telehealth claims have stabilized at 38 times higher than prepandemic levels as of July 2021.1 In a recent national survey of hepatology practitioners, 98% were using telehealth to conduct appointments, 88% viewed telehealth favorably, and 35% believed that most patients preferred telehealth over in-person visits.
