    Abstract

    Objective: To compare telemedicine versus office visit use at two Medicaid-focused pediatric primary care clinics. Methods: Retrospective cohort study from March 15, 2020 - March 15, 2021 at two Medicaid-focused pediatric primary care clinics. Site A and Site B care for different populations (Site B care for mostly immigrant families with preferred language Spanish). Outcomes included the percent of visits conducted through telemedicine and reason for visit. Descriptive statistics, univariable and multivariable mixed multilevel logistic regression, were used to assess relationship between patient demographics and telemedicine use. Results: Out of 17,142 total visits, 13% of encounters at Site A (n = 987) and 25% of encounters at Site B (n = 2,421) were conducted using telemedicine. Around 13.8% of well-child care (n = 1,515/10,997), 36.2% of mental health care (n = 572/1,581), and 25.0% of acute care/follow-up (n = 1,893/7,562) were telemedicine visits. After adjustment for covariates, there was no difference in odds of a patient having any telemedicine use by preferred language, sex, or payor. Patients 1-4 years of age had the lowest odds of telemedicine use. At Site A, patients who identified as Non-Hispanic Black (odds ratio [OR] = 0.33, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.24-0.45), Hispanic/Latinx (OR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.24-0.66), or other race/ethnicity (OR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.23-0.55) had lower odds of telemedicine use in comparison to Non-Hispanic White. Conclusions: Telemedicine was successfully accessed by Medicaid enrollees for different types of pediatric primary care. There was no difference in telemedicine use by preferred language and payor. However, differences existed by age at both sites and by race/ethnicity at one site. Future research should explore operational factors that improve telemedicine access for marginalized groups.
