Specialist doctors are physicians whose practice is limited to a particular branch of medicine or surgery. Overall, specialty practices have benefited from rising total health expenditure, increased demand from an aging population and improving access to health insurance due to recent reforms. Industry operators had to cancel or delay elective procedures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which tend to account for the bulk of revenue. Due to the specialized nature of industry services, it has been more difficult for industry operators to adopt telehealth in comparison to primary care doctors.
