However, we currently lack data on patient experiences of telehealth from low-income individuals. Using data collected in 2021 and 2022 from a statewide survey of enrollees in the Heathy Michigan Plan, Michigan's Medicaid expansion program, we conducted an analysis to study patients\u2019 experiences of using telehealth. Approximately one-third of enrollees reported a telehealth visit within the past year. Individuals reporting barriers to primary care were more likely to have had a telehealth visit compared with those reporting no barriers to primary care.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Among those who had a telehealth visit, most individuals reported that telehealth provided care they could not or would not otherwise receive (63.3%; 95% CI: 58.9%\u201367.5%) and were satisfied with telehealth adequately addressing their health concerns (92.1%; 95% CI: 89.4%\u201394.1%).
