A GoodRx survey of 1,000 patients finds that 40% had more interactions with their providers during the pandemic than before because of telemedicine. That same amount reported spending the same amount of time with their providers during video visits as they had during in-person visits. Moving forward, more than 60% say they’ll use a combination of virtual and in-person care. Of the 600 physicians surveyed, 60% say telemedicine has improved medication adherence.
