Abstract
Access to Infectious Disease (ID) specialists is limited. We analyzed 515 ID electronic provider-to-provider consultations (eConsults) over a 10-month period, finding high utilization for immunocompromised patients. Most eConsults were billable, averaging $190.65/hour. Referring providers reported high satisfaction. eConsults are one financially viable way to improve access to ID specialty care.
