The report investigates core categories related to patient volume, insurance coverage, and payer mix. Top-line findings reveal that:

  • New patient volume did not swell during this period; in fact, new patient visits to primary care providers (PCPs) raised very slightly, and were overall no more complex than those in 2013.
  • The ACA has reduced the overall proportion of uninsured patients receiving care in physician offices, especially in Medicaid expansion states.
  • The number of diagnoses per patient visit also did not raise sharply contrast to the previous year’s data.
