abstract: 'Disparities in unmet health care demand resulting from socioeconomic,
|
||||
|
||||
racial, and financial factors have received a great deal of attention in
|
||||
|
||||
the United States. However, out-of-pocket costs alone do not fully
|
||||
|
||||
reflect the total opportunity cost that patients must consider as they
|
||||
|
||||
seek medical attention. While there is an extensive literature on the
|
||||
|
||||
price elasticity of demand for health care, empirical evidence regarding
|
||||
|
||||
the effect of waiting time on utilization is sparse. Using the
|
||||
|
||||
nationally representative 2003 Community Tracking Study Household
|
||||
|
||||
Survey, the most recent iteration containing respondents'' physician
|
||||
|
||||
office visit frequency and estimated in-office waiting time in the
|
||||
|
||||
United States (N = 23,484), we investigated the association between
|
||||
|
||||
waiting time and calculated time cost with the number of physician
|
||||
|
||||
visits among a sample of working-age adults. To avoid the bias that
|
||||
|
||||
literature suggests would result from excluding respondents with zero
|
||||
|
||||
physician visits, we imputed waiting time for the essential inclusion of
|
||||
|
||||
such individuals. On average, respondents visited physician offices 3.55
|
||||
|
||||
times, during which time they waited 28.7 mm. The estimates from a
|
||||
|
||||
negative binomial model indicated that a doubling of waiting time was
|
||||
|
||||
associated with a 7.7 percent decrease (p-value < 0.001) in physician
|
||||
|
||||
visit frequency. For women and unemployed respondents, who visited
|
||||
|
||||
physicians more frequently, the decrease was even larger, suggesting a
|
||||
|
||||
stronger response to greater waiting times. We believe this finding
|
||||
|
||||
reflects the discretionary nature of incremental visits in these groups,
|
||||
|
||||
and a consequent lower perceived marginal benefit of additional visits.
|
||||
|
||||
The results suggest that in-office waiting time may have a substantial
|
||||
|
||||
influence on patients'' propensity to seek medical attention. Although
|
||||
|
||||
there is a belief that expansions in health insurance coverage increase
|
||||
|
||||
health care utilization by reducing financial barriers to access, our
|
||||
|
||||
results suggest that unintended consequences may arise if in-office
|
||||
|
||||
waiting time increases. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
