3.1.5 Place of service – Outpatient and low acuity (excluding office visits)
The chart below shows which outpatient and low-acuity places of service are large and are growing fast. Moving left
to right on the horizontal axis, costs incurred by location get larger. Moving bottom to top on the vertical axis, growth
from previous period through current period in costs increases. Therefore, locations in the upper right corner are
both large and growing fast.
