Abstract
The ED use rate was 40 visits per 100 military health care beneficiaries from 2002 to 2007. This is very similar to rates reported for US and Canadian populations. Near universal insurance coverage does not necessarily result in reduced ED use. Military EDs share the civilian sector challenges posed by steadily rising patient volumes.
