BHI COVID-19 Descriptive Analytics

The explosive growth of telehealth has been discussed extensively in the past year. To provide even greater insights into the nature of this COVID-19 driven-trend, BHI studied our conformed national medical claims data set, comprised of more than 22 billion claims that represent 217 million unique lives, to unearth different telehealth insights.

BHI's most recent data brief (released March 2021) examines rural, urban, and gender-related telehealth utilization differences among commercially insured individuals. One finding is summarized here. Access the full study using the button below.

Differences in Telehealth Utilization By Gender

BHI examined gender-related differences in telehealth utilization from January to October 2019 and during the same period in 2020. The data showed that women were 87% more likely than men to use virtual healthcare services.

Looking forward

As more 2020 claims data becomes available, BHI will continue to assess the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare services such as telehealth. Examining these trends with the inclusion of data from the second wave of the pandemic will help to quantify the longer-term, lasting impact on population health and healthcare service delivery in the U.S.
