How telehealth services are associated with non-attendance in primary care is not well-described, nor are patient characteristics associated with telehealth non-attendance. ⋯ Telephonic visits may improve access to care and be more easily adoptable among diverse populations. Further attention to implementation may be needed to avoid impeding access to care for certain populations using video visits.
