Figure 2: Primary Diagnosis Subgroup for Direct to Consumer (DTC) Telemedicine versus Acute Primary Care Provider (PCP) Visit, 2015-2016.

Figure 2:

Diagnosis subgroups were determined through use of a published diagnosis grouping system designed for categorization of acute pediatric visits,15 which was applied to the primary diagnosis for each visit. The diagnosis grouping system identifies 21 major groups and 77 subgroups. The 10 most common diagnosis subgroups (out of 77 total subgroups) for either DTC telemedicine and acute PCP visits are listed (totaling 13 diagnosis subgroups, due to overlap). Abbreviations: DTC, direct to consumer; ENT, ear, nose, throat; PCP, primary care provider. *=p<0.001.
