Data released this summer from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) indicated the average emergency room<\/u><\/a> (ER) visit times for each of the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n

Patients in Washington, D.C.<\/u><\/a> had the longest average visit \u2014 at 5 hours and 29 minutes.<\/p>\n

The shortest median visit was in North Dakota, where patients spent an average of 1 hour and 48 minutes in the ER.<\/p>\n

The data came from the CMS “Timely and Effective Care” measurements, collected between October 2021 and September 2022.<\/p>\n

They were released on July 26.<\/p>\n

The numbers included visits of children and adults whose care was covered by Medicare\u2019s Inpatient Prospective Payment System or Outpatient Prospective Payment System.<\/p>\n

Median visit times have been on the rise amid staffing shortages and an increase in patient volume<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The average visit time nationwide is 160 minutes, up from 155 minutes as of September 2021 and 143 minutes in 2020, per CMS data.<\/p>\n

Between 2011 and 2021, emergency department visits among patients less than 65 years old that were paid by Medicaid rose from 34% to 45.3%, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).<\/p>\n
