Tele-Behavioral Health at Federally Qualified Health Centers—Differences by Provider Type

Published: 2022-09-01
Updated: 2023-08-02

COVID-19 accelerated the use of tele-behavioral health at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), but it is unclear if all or only some behavioral health professions (e.g., psychiatrists) are delivering virtual care. Using the Uniform Data System (UDS) for HRSA-supported FQHCs, this study examined the use of virtual care by behavioral health clinician type to understand who is providing tele-behavioral health services at FQHCs.
