BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

The research, which analyzed more than six million insurance claims from employer-based plans in 2019 and 2020, found urbanites had around 50 telehealth visits per 10,000 people as opposed to 31 visits per 10,000 people in rural areas.
