Abbreviation: PCC, post–COVID-19 condition.

^{^a}

Unmet needs refer to health care needs that the individual did not receive in the past 12 months because of difficulties using health insurance.

^{^b}

Percentage estimates reflect estimated probabilities from a multivariable logistic regression controlling for differences in sex, age, race and ethnicity, educational attainment, citizenship status, marital status, presence of dependent children younger than age 19 years in the household, diagnosed physical health conditions, health insurance coverage status in the past 12 months, and residence in a rural area.

^{^c}

P values were estimated using independent samples t tests of the difference from adults with PCC and were adjusted using the Benjamini-Hochberg correction for multiple tests.
