Top 20 physician specialties with the highest telemedicine insight scores

For companies offering telehealth and remote patient monitoring solutions, a provider’s level of engagement with telehealth technology can be a key component to segmenting the market. For healthcare software and IT companies, more broadly, a provider’s telehealth usage – or lack thereof – could indicate a general appetite to adopt new technologies.

What components are used to determine a provider’s level of telehealth activity?

Definitive Healthcare offers healthcare organizations a variety of ways to deepen their understanding of telehealth utilization within their market. All-payor claims data offers insights into both diagnosis claims made during telehealth visits and the related procedure codes. This data can be used to size, segment, and prioritize accounts.

To provide organizations with a faster, more accessible means of uncovering which providers use telemedicine technology, we’ve developed proprietary Telemedicine Insight Scores in our PhysicianView product.

Using a 5-star scale, a provider’s telemedicine capabilities are determined using the number of billed telehealth claims and the percentage of the total claims conducted via telehealth.

The Telemedicine Insight Score helps our clients gain a more granular understanding of a provider’s telehealth utilization so they can more accurately segment the market and target key provider prospects.

Using healthcare commercial intelligence from the Atlas Dataset, we analyzed more than 100,000 provider profiles with the highest Telemedicine Insight Scores (3, 4, or 5 stars) to identify the top primary specialties with the most providers utilizing telehealth.
