Characteristics of Office-based Physician Visits, 2018
NCHS Data Brief.
2021 May.
Abstract
In 2018, 85% of adults and 96% of children in the United States had a usual place to receive health care (1,2). Most children and adults listed a doctor's office as the usual place they received care (1,2). In 2018, an estimated 860.4 million office-based physician visits occurred in the United States (3,4). This report examines visit rates by age and sex. It also examines visit characteristics-including insurance status, reason for visit, and services- by age using data from the 2018 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS).
