Introduction: Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, primary care adopted telehealth rapidly to preserve access.

Methods: We used electronic health record data to compare primary care telehealth use in practices serving primarily commercially insured patients versus clinics serving low-income uninsured patients, in March-June 2020 ("early COVID") and March-June 2022 ("late COVID").
