Revenue of outpatient care in U.S. hospitals 2017-2021, by type of hospital
In 2020, around 572 billion U.S. dollars of revenue were generated by outpatient visits in hospitals across the United States. During that year, with an estimated 551 billion dollars, most outpatient revenue came from general medical and surgical hospitals. However, roughly 80 percent of such outpatient revenue was registered among privately-owned structures. Since 2017, the outpatient revenue steadily increased in the US. However, as a probable result of the coronavirus pandemic, the outpatient revenue decreased in 2021.
