The State of Patient Access: 2021
Insights and trends from providers and patients
We believe a better patient access experience means a stronger revenue cycle. Experian Health’s 2021 patient access survey – with responses from providers and patients – looks at several issues related to that experience. The results can help guide providers’ efforts to emerge stronger from a year like no other.
Some examples:
- 52 percent of patients said the final cost of their care was significantly different than the estimate they received.
- Nearly 90 percent of 45- to 54-year-olds want to schedule their own appointments, 24/7, from their mobile devices.
- 90 percent of providers say improving the patient experience is a “top priority.”
- Providers are “extremely” or “very” concerned about collecting payments from patients (50%) and payers (44%)
