Notes. This table presents our results for the effect of e-visit adoption on the number of office and phone visits with physicians (columns (1) and (5)), residents (columns (2) and (6)), nurse practitioners (columns (3) and (7)), and other providers (columns (4) and (8)). Standard errors in parentheses are robust and two-way clustered at the patient and the provider-month levels.
