Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas reported the most emergency room visits in 2021, according to figures compiled by Becker's. Totals represent the number of emergency room visits tallied for a single facility, rather than total ER visits for a whole health system. Figures were self-reported to Becker's by individual hospitals. The most recent past version of this list was published in 2020, looking at ER visits for 2019. A comparison of the two suggests ER visits are still down from 2019 levels amid the pandemic. Reporting periods represent either calendar year or fiscal year 2021. Hospitals reporting figures based on a fiscal year are denoted with an asterisk. Start and end dates for the fiscal year may vary by hospital. This is not an exhaustive list.

Who pays for a second opinion?

Medicare covers second opinions if a doctor recommends that you have surgery or a major diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. Note: Medicare does not cover second opinions for excluded services, such as cosmetic surgery.

medicareinteractive.org - Medicare and second opinions

A second opinion is when you ask a doctor other than your regular doctor for their view on symptoms, an injury, or an illness you are experiencing in order to better help you make an informed decision about treatment options. Medicare covers second opinions if a doctor recommends that you have surgery or a major diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. Note: Medicare does not cover second opinions for excluded services, such as cosmetic surgery. Medicare will also cover a third opinion if the first and second opinions are different from each other. The second and third opinions will be covered even if Medicare will not ultimately cover your procedure (unless it is an excluded service). If the first and second opinions were the same but you want a third opinion, you may be able to see a third doctor for a confirmatory consultation. Medicare may cover a confirmatory consultation if your doctor submits the claim correctly and the services are reasonable and necessary (even if Medicare will not ultimately cover them). Note: If you are in a Medicare Advantage Plan, your plan may have different cost and coverage rules for second and third opinions. Contact your plan for more information.
