emergency visits
Unplanned medical trips
Emergency visits are unscheduled trips to a hospital emergency room or urgent care facility for acute medical problems: The insurance plan covers emergency visits but not routine checkups.
The phrase appears frequently in healthcare contexts discussing costs, wait times, or utilization patterns.
Distinguished from scheduled appointments or routine care, emergency visits imply urgency—chest pain, broken bones, severe allergic reactions.
