Patients Love Telehealth, but Could Doctors Dislike It?

Virtual care has become a mature industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, with insurers and investors pouring money into telehealth startups. But the telehealth boom has changed how practitioners deliver care in ways that they don’t necessarily like, according to a new survey from McKinsey & Co. Though telehealth is here to stay, much remains unsettled about the way physicians use virtual care tools — and how they are paid to do so.

Nearly every physician now uses telehealth, according to McKinsey, and the change happened fast: 83% of physicians that the consulting firm surveyed in 2021 offered virtual services, versus 13% in 2019. The survey also found that by May 2021, 88% of consumers had used virtual care since the start of the pandemic.
