Common questions
About ERs and wait times.
General information, not medical advice.
What does “typical ER visit” mean?
It is the median time patients spent in that hospital’s emergency department, from arrival until they left, counting patients who were sent home. Hospitals report it to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which publishes it on Care Compare for a past year. It is not a live wait time: today’s wait depends on how busy the ER is and how urgent each patient’s problem is.
Why can’t I see a wait time for every ER?
Only hospitals report this measure to CMS, and only when they have enough patients for a reliable number. Freestanding ERs (not attached to a hospital) don’t report it, so their listings show no figure.
What is the difference between a hospital ER and a freestanding ER?
A hospital ER is part of a hospital, so patients who need surgery or an overnight stay can be admitted on site. A freestanding ER is a licensed emergency room in its own building, open 24/7, that transfers patients who need hospital care. Both bill as emergency rooms, which usually costs more than urgent care, and a freestanding ER may be out of network with your insurance.
Who decides who is seen first in the ER?
ER staff see patients by how serious their condition is, not by arrival time. This sorting is called triage, so someone who arrives later with a more serious problem may be seen first.
This is not for emergencies.
For life-threatening symptoms, severe chest pain, trouble breathing, or immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
