That lost time costs patients an average of $43 per appointment. By Jamie Ducharme | Hub Health | October 12, 2015, 3:57 p.m. You know how it feels like youâve spent hours in the waiting room every time you see a doctor? A new study from Harvard Medical School (HMS) says that estimate is not far off. Compiling data from several sources, including the American Time Use Survey, the researchers calculated that the average appointment takes 121 minutes.
By estimating the value of an activity based on how much income the participant could have earned during that timeâa figure known as opportunity costâHMSâ team found that each appointment costs patients roughly $43. Thatâs on top of the $32, on average, that patients actually pay out-of-pocket. âTypically, when we talk about how much we spend on health care, we focus on what is paid to doctors and hospitals through co-pays and insurance payments,â said Mehrotra.
