Summary

Teleconsultation is a telemedicine medical act carried out remotely via information and communication technologies. This medical procedure has been legal in France since 2010 and reimbursed by the National Health Insurance under certain conditions since 2018. In 2020, following the COVID-19 epidemic, the lockdowns and the extension of the scope of financial coverage, 17 million teleconsultations have been reimbursed. To date, few scientific studies have been published in France to precisely describe the use of the service giving access to outpatient teleconsultation, in particular since the major increase in activity linked to the COVID-19 epidemic. The objective is to describe the use of the service giving access to outpatient teleconsultation carried out in France by teleconsultation companies and compare the use of the teleconsultation service according to the medical density of the territory.
