On March 17, 2022, the Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) released a new report examining the use of telehealth services in Medicare during the first year of the pandemic, declaring that telehealth was critical during this time period for Medicare beneficiaries.
The report also looks at the growth of telehealth services, the types of telehealth services most commonly used, and the extent to which beneficiaries also used in-person services.
The Alliance for Connected Care developed a summary of key findings from the report, which can be found here.
