To compare diagnostic codes used for telemedicine vs office visits. Data sets from all REI visits in 3 fiscal years (2020-2022) were extracted and divided in two groups; office vs telemedicine. The International Classification Diseases ( ICD) 10 and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes of each visit were analyzed separately. Top diagnoses were listed separately for each group. Patients were fit in the office group if they lived either out of state, or lived in the state where our physician was licensed for document if telemedicine had any influence on infertility practice. A total of 37,129 visits were reviewed during the study period, of which 6,845 were conducted via telemedicine.
