telehealth usage to keep climbing post-coronavirus, but sustained uptake would require all insurers to continue paying for these services — and the fragmented insurance landscape in the US makes us unsure if a unified response to coverage is in the cards. The coronavirus is forcing patients to shake off any concerns about using telehealth. But US consumers are tethered to their insurers in terms of what types of care they can access — and how they receive it.

However, patients will likely get comfortable with the convenience telehealth affords — and traditional providers are going to want to make sure telehealth investments they're making now have long-term viability.
