Urgent Care Center Utilization Skyrocketed by 1725% in Last Decade
Health Payer Intelligence March 26, 2018
Private payers experienced significant growth in urgent care center utilization from 2007 to 2016.
Healthcare payers saw urgent care center utilization grow by 1725 percent from 2007 to 2016, indicating that urgent care may the one of the fastest-growing choices for receiving healthcare.
A white paper from FAIR Health found that beneficiary utilization of urgent care outpaced ED utilization growth (229 percent) sevenfold.
“In a time when healthcare spending accounts for almost 18 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product, and the healthcare ecosystem is undergoing rapid evolution, we hope that these new tools will inform decision making by all healthcare stakeholders, including payers, providers, government officials, policy makers and others,” FAIR Health President Robin Gelburd said.
