Notes on Methodology
The 2020 survey did not define "visit". Starting in 2021 the survey asked if respondents had visited their personal doctor "in person, by phone or by video."
Story Behind the Curve
As noted above, the wording for this question changed starting in 2021 by defining "visit" to include in-person, phone or video encounters. We have seen a small increase in the 1 or more visit response rate since that change.
