COVID-19 returned to the top five national diagnoses via telehealth, with April being the first month since January 2022, where COVID-19 was in the top five diagnoses. 

The rise in telehealth COVID diagnoses matches up with CDC data showing a surge of  cases in April.

The Monthly Telehealth Regional Tracker uses data representing the privately insured, including Medicare Advantage. The data does not include the population using Medicare Fee-for-Service and Medicaid.
