Average Daily Urgent Care Visits

Visit volume is one of the most important performance metrics in urgent care. We’ve been tracking this key metric and comparing it to the three-year average over the course of COVID. Despite the virtual disappearance of flu visits, overall visit volume remains up over the three-year average at 16%. Nearly half (48%) of all visits in 2020 were new patients, giving clinics and opportunity to see continued growth.

Average Weekly COVID Visits

The industry continues to see higher visit volume, even with a decline in COVID-19 infections. 27% of clinics are seeing more than 50 patients per day. With continued COVID testing combined with participation in the vaccine administration effort, urgent cares can continue to stay top of mind for both new and established patients.
