Abstract | Introduction: Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, primary care adopted telehealth rapidly to preserve access. Although policy flexibilities persist, but with in-person access restored, insight regarding long-term policy reform is needed for equitable access, especially for underserved, low income, and rural populations. Methods: We used electronic health record data to compare primary care telehealth use in practices serving primarily commercially insured patients versus clinics serving low-income uninsured patients, in March-June 2020 ("early COVID") and March-June 2022 ("late COVID"). Results: Primary care visit mode differed significantly ( Conclusions: Findings demonstrate the importance of both phone and video visits in preserving primary care access early in the pandemic. Telehealth use declined in late COVID, but still accounted for ∼20% of primary care visits in the commercially insured setting and less than 10% of visits in the community care clinics. Differences in telehealth use were largely by setting, reflecting income/insurance status, indicating disparities needing to be addressed. |
