## Executive GIST (TL;DR)
- New research published in **JAMA Health Forum** found that roughly **11.9 million** Americans live in areas with broadband speeds below the Federal Communications Commission’s threshold of **100/20 Mbps**, creating barriers to reliable telehealth access. - The study analyzed data across **41 states** and a combined population of more than **249 million** people to map telehealth access and broadband availability. - **University of Vermont** researchers reported that **88%** of people living in these low‑broadband areas reside in **rural** communities, compounding existing geographic health access challenges. - Although device ownership is high—about **95%** of rural residents have a computing device—and **~89%** report a broadband subscription, connection quality still prevents effective virtual care use. - Researchers emphasized that broadband availability and subscription do not guarantee telehealth use; socioeconomic factors, digital literacy, inadequate technology, limited telehealth offerings, and affordability also impede uptake. - The report highlights persistent broadband disparities in the South and West and notes that poor infrastructure and high subscription costs limit timely access to primary, specialty and emergency care via telehealth. - Study authors recommended that policymakers consider increased investment in broadband infrastructure and expanded telehealth reimbursement policies to improve virtual care access. - The analysis situates its findings in the broader telehealth landscape: usage surged during the COVID‑19 pandemic, has since declined from peak levels, but remains above pre‑pandemic rates; technology gaps and uneven reimbursement continue to challenge adoption.

Researchers used data from a variety of sources to paint a picture of telehealth access and availability across 41 states. Of the states’ total population of more than 249 million people, 11.9 million lived in broadband deserts, where broadbands speeds are lower than 100/20 megabits per second — the Federal Communications Commission’s threshold for a sufficient connection. Eighty-eight percent of those individuals lived in rural areas, so are likely to face worse access to other healthcare services, including ambulance availability, the study found. The U.S. has “persistent broadband disparities ... especially in rural areas of the South and West, where limited internet infrastructure and broadband subscription rates compound challenges in accessing timely medical care,” researchers wrote. Poor broadband connection is hampering telehealth access even in households that would otherwise be able to engage in virtual care. Ninety-five percent of people in rural areas have access to a computing device, while almost 89% have a broadband subscription, the study found. “While broadband availability and subscriptions are prerequisites for telehealth, its presence does not inherently guarantee use,” researchers noted. “While telehealth has the potential to mitigate gaps in accessing care, its actual impact remains contingent on overcoming a complex set of socioeconomic, health care practitioner and health system offerings, and behavioral barriers beyond mere physical connectivity.” Telehealth usage exploded during the coronavirus pandemic as Americans were unable to access much in-person medical care. Though it’s waned since, more people are using virtual care than before COVID-19, according to FAIR Health. But technology gaps and piecemeal reimbursement remain a challenge to adoption, experts say. University of Vermont researchers suggested that policymakers consider investing more in broadband infrastructure and expanding reimbursement policies to expand the use of telehealth. ### Recommended Reading * [ Provider, telehealth groups urge Congress to make telehealth flexibilities permanent ](https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/american-medical-association-ama-provider-telehealth-groups-permanent-telehealth-flexibilities/808930/) By Emily Olsen • Jan. 7, 2026 * [ Telehealth use in primary care stabilizes: research ](https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/telehealth-use-primary-care-stabilizes-epic-research/812472/) By Emily Olsen • Feb. 19, 2026 * [ ![](https://www.healthcaredive.com/static/img/social_icons/article_page/bookmark-add.svg?313321260226) Add us on Google ](https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=https://www.healthcaredive.com) * [ ![](https://www.healthcaredive.com/static/img/social_icons/share-icon.svg?313321260226) Share ](javascript:void\(0\)) * [ ![](https://www.healthcaredive.com/static/img/social_icons/share_dropdown/share-link-box.svg?313321260226) Copy link ](javascript:void\(0\)) * ![](https://www.healthcaredive.com/static/img/social_icons/share_dropdown/email.svg?313321260226) Email * [ ![](https://www.healthcaredive.com/static/img/social_icons/share_dropdown/linkedin.svg?313321260226) LinkedIn ](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A//www.healthcaredive.com/news/broadband-barrier-telehealth-adoption-jama-study/830782/&title=Broadband%20still%20a%20barrier%20to%20telehealth%20adoption%2C%20study%20finds) * [ ![](https://www.healthcaredive.com/static/img/social_icons/share_dropdown/x.svg?313321260226) X/Twitter ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Broadband%20still%20a%20barrier%20to%20telehealth%20adoption%2C%20study%20finds%20https%3A//www.healthcaredive.com/news/broadband-barrier-telehealth-adoption-jama-study/830782/%20via%20@healthcaredive) * [ ![](https://www.healthcaredive.com/static/img/social_icons/share_dropdown/facebook.svg?313321260226) Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A//www.healthcaredive.com/news/broadband-barrier-telehealth-adoption-jama-study/830782/) * [ ![](https://www.healthcaredive.com/static/img/social_icons/share_dropdown/print.svg?313321260226) Print ](javascript:window.print\(\)) * [ ![](https://www.healthcaredive.com/static/img/social_icons/article_page/cart.svg?313321260226) License ](https://www.healthcaredive.com/selfservice/article-licensing/submit/?newspostUrl=https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/broadband-barrier-telehealth-adoption-jama-study/830782/) Filed Under: [Telehealth](https://www.healthcaredive.com/topic/telehealth/) ### Healthcare Dive news delivered to your inbox Get the free daily newsletter read by industry experts Email: * Select Newsletter: Daily Dive M-F * Select Newsletter: Payer Weekly Every Wednesday * Select Newsletter: IT Weekly Every Thursday * Select user consent: By signing up to receive our newsletter, you agree to our [Terms of Use](https://www.informatechtarget.com/terms-of-use/) and [Privacy Policy](https://www.informatechtarget.com/privacy-policy/).
