CONCLUSIONS: Since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to move the majority of patient visits to telehealth but observed inconsistent utilization of the audio-video telehealth platform. We identified that for consultations, in-person visits were associated with higher billing codes compared to two-way audio-video encounters (p<0.01). This rapid implementation allowed us to continue providing patients' access to radiation oncology physicians while reducing patient exposures from travel and in-office visits. Nevertheless, we continue to recommend two-way audio-video encounters as the standard of telehealth care to the extent possible, as J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f we believe the video aspect of the visit is a very valuable component of being able to offer appropriate clinical advice and establish a patient-physician relationship.	./cache/cord-311341-7ox30d2u.txt	./txt/cord-311341-7ox30d2u.txt
