Abstract

Objective

To examine telerehabilitation utilization in the United States (US) during the first 2 years of the pandemic.

Design

We performed a retrospective analysis of outpatient insurance claims from the IBM MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters Database to identify the number and proportion of patients using telerehabilitation from 2020 to 2021. Telerehabilitation was identified based on the presence of specific code modifiers and place of service.

Setting

Retrospective claims analysis.
