Utilization of Selected Health Services Among Non-Elderly People with Disabilities

Not surprisingly, people with disabilities report fairly heavy use of health care services. Nine in ten non-elderly adults with disabilities say that they have been to a doctor’s office or clinic at least once in the last six months, including about one in five (19%) who report more than ten doctor visits. In addition, fully one-third (33%) say they have been to an emergency room at least once in the last six months, and nearly nine in ten (88%) say they are currently taking prescription drugs.
