In April, telehealth utilization fell 12.5%, a trend mirrored by a gradual shift back to in-person visits at hospitals and other healthcare settings, according to FAIR Health's Monthly Telehealth Regional Tracker. 

Claims for telehealth services have receded for consecutive months. Telehealth represented 4.9% of all medical claims in April, down from 5.6% the prior month. Southern states experienced the greatest decline in telehealth claim lines during that time, at 12.2%.
