Family Medicine Video Statistics

Key takeaways

1. Family and primary care physicians and practices made 6.8% of the 340 on-topic videos among YouTube’s most-viewed results for ‘family doctor’, ‘primary care’ and ‘annual physical’ and drew 20.8% of their views; one channel, Doctor Mike, drew 17.0% of all on-topic views (our read, Nov 9, 2026).

2. Off-topic, kids’ and counted-only videos drew 86.1% of the sample’s views. In the ‘annual physical’ list they were 73.3% of the videos, among them 116 ASMR medical-exam roleplay videos (our read, Nov 9, 2026). (Mark Studios) See details
3. In the ‘primary care’ list, family and primary care physicians drew 1.5% of on-topic views, while hospital, academic and medical or nursing education channels posted 43.7% of its on-topic videos. No sampled channel named Palm Beach, Broward or Martin county: 0 videos (our read, Nov 9, 2026). (Mark Studios) See details
4. The five U.S.-placed family and primary care physician channels posted 773 videos in the year to Nov 9, 2026, a median of 72 per channel; the busiest posted 479, nearly all 60 seconds or less (our read). (Mark Studios) See details
5. CMS listed 83,639 providers of type ‘Family Practice’ billing Medicare Part B fee-for-service in 2024, 1.0% fewer than the 84,471 in 2019. Medicare paid them $5,265,332,572 in 2024, up 6.1% before inflation (our sums of CMS’s file). (CMS) See details
6. In Palm Beach, Broward and Martin counties, 246, 437 and 50 family practice providers billed Medicare in 2024, 14.9% of Florida’s 4,914 (our count from CMS’s file). (CMS) See details
7. 10,019,118 Medicare patients had a subsequent annual wellness visit in an office setting in 2024, up 23.8% from 2019, and 1,321,899 had chronic care management (99490), up 49.5%. Family practice providers held 38.8% of the provider lines billing that wellness visit (our sums of CMS’s files). (CMS) See details
8. BLS estimated 107,510 wage and salary family medicine physician jobs in May 2025, with a median annual wage of $244,180. Florida’s median was $227,700 and the Port St. Lucie area’s (Martin and St. Lucie counties) $239,990; BLS did not release Florida’s job count. (BLS) See details
9. In the AMA’s 2024 Physician Practice Benchmark Survey, 63.3% of family and general medicine physicians had given a video visit in the prior week, against 49.6% of all physicians, and 10.7% gave more than a fifth of their visits by video. In the AMA’s analysis of 2024 Medicare claims, 4.1% of their telehealth-eligible charges were billed as telehealth. (AMA) See details
10. Florida’s 2026 physician workforce report lists 7,418 family medicine physicians in its county appendix, 402 of them in Palm Beach, 594 in Broward and 55 in Martin; its primary care table prints 8,926, the same total as the 2025 report’s appendix, so we show both. (Florida Department of Health) See details
11. Virtual visits, video or audio-only, made up 7% of primary care visits among traditional Medicare beneficiaries in 2023, and 14% of beneficiaries who had a primary care visit used telemedicine for primary care (Ganguli et al., JAMA Health Forum, 2026). (JAMA Health Forum) See details
12. In the 2025 National Health Interview Survey, 88.2% of U.S. adults had a usual place to go for health care and 80.6% had a wellness visit in the past 12 months. In CDC’s 2025 BRFSS, 18.96% of Florida adults said they had no personal doctor or health care provider. (CDC) See details
13. The “26.7 hours a day” figure is a simulation, not a time study: Porter et al. (J Gen Intern Med, 2023) applied 2020 guidelines to hypothetical panels of 2,500 adults for a physician working alone; with team-based care the estimate fell to 9.3 hours. (Journal of General Internal Medicine) See details
14. The “2 hours on the EHR for every hour with patients” line comes from Sinsky et al. (Annals of Internal Medicine, 2016), who observed 57 physicians in four specialties, not only primary care; they spent 49.2% of their office day on EHR and desk work. (Annals of Internal Medicine) See details

Who makes the most-viewed family doctor and primary care videos on YouTube?

Family and primary care physicians and practices drew 20.8% of the on-topic views when we read YouTube's 200 most-viewed results for each of 'family doctor', 'primary care' and 'annual physical' on November 9, 2026, and one channel drew most of that: Doctor Mike, run by a board-certified family medicine doctor in New York City, drew 17.0% of all on-topic views on its own (our calculation). We pulled the three view-sorted lists through the YouTube Data API on one day, with no country or language filter, and got 592 unique videos from 387 channels with 4.2 billion lifetime views in all (4,226,316,001) (our calculation). The lists are YouTube's own ranking on that day, not a census; view counts are lifetime snapshots; we did not watch the videos. We classed every channel by hand from its own title, description and sample titles and did not check anyone's credentials.

Most of what these searches return is not about primary care. 42.6% of the videos were off-topic, kids' content or counted-only, and they drew 86.1% of all views (our calculation). The 'family doctor' list was the noisiest by views: 53.5% of its videos and 87.0% of its views were off-topic, mostly kids' cartoons, nursery rhymes and family pretend-play shorts (69 videos in the whole sample). The 'annual physical' list had the most off-topic videos, 73.3%, with 69.2% of its views: 116 of them were ASMR medical-exam roleplay, which we counted but did not open or name. The 'primary care' list was almost all on-topic: 1.0% of its videos and 0.2% of its views were off-topic (our calculation). The rest of the off-topic set was mainly school 'annual exam' papers (23 videos) and comedy sketches (20).

That leaves 340 on-topic videos with 587.8 million views (587,773,662). Family or primary care physicians and practices posted 6.8% of them, from 6 channels, and Doctor Mike alone drew 81.7% of that class's views (our calculation). Media, news, podcast and general-creator channels drew 34.0% of on-topic views, family-story channels (mostly parents filming a child's doctor visit, published as counts only) 25.1%, and other clinicians 16.8%. Hospitals, health systems, academic centers and medical or nursing education channels posted 28.8% of the on-topic videos but drew 2.2% of the views (our calculation).

Views were concentrated. The three most-viewed channels drew 33.6% of on-topic views and the ten most-viewed 59.9%, with no tie at either cut-off (our calculation). In order, the top ten were Doctor Mike, Miki Rai, a withheld family-story channel, My 3 Daugh(Doc)ters, a withheld family-story channel, a withheld family-story channel, a withheld family-story channel, Once Upon A Doctor, Dr. Glaucomflecken and Mitali This Side!!; the eleventh was Jubilee. The withheld entries are family-story channels we do not name.

The three searches find different makers. Family or primary care physicians and practices drew 22.9% of on-topic views in the 'family doctor' list, 1.5% in the 'primary care' list and 0.0% in the 'annual physical' list (our calculation). The 'primary care' list is mostly teaching: hospital, academic and medical or nursing education channels posted 43.7% of its on-topic videos, many of them lectures on 'primary health care' for nursing and community-medicine exams in India. The 'annual physical' list is led by news and late-night segments on a U.S. president's physical (21 videos name Trump or Biden). Across the sample, 8 on-topic videos were about direct primary care, concierge care or membership fees, and 13 titles named a chronic condition such as blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, COPD or kidney disease (our calculation; every flagged title read).

5 of the 6 family or primary care physician and practice channels were U.S.-placed: Doctor Mike (New York City), Once Upon A Doctor (California), Voyage Clinics (a direct primary care practice in Orem, Utah), Missouri Ozarks Community Health (a federally qualified health center) and Dr. Caroline MD. Together they drew 19.8% of on-topic views; the sixth is a UK GP (our calculation). 4 on-topic channels named a Florida place (Lee Health, the UCF College of Medicine clinical-skills channel, the Alzheimer's Association Florida chapters and AllHealthGo from South Florida PBS), and none of them was a family or primary care practice. 0 videos came from a channel naming Palm Beach, Broward or Martin county (our calculation).

Short videos carried the views. 22.6% of on-topic videos ran 60 seconds or less, and they drew 64.6% of on-topic views (our calculation).

We also read a full year of uploads from the five U.S.-placed physician and practice channels. They posted 773 videos between November 9, 2025 and November 9, 2026; the median channel posted 72 (our calculation). Once Upon A Doctor posted 479, nearly all of them shorts, and with Doctor Mike that is 84.9% of the five channels' uploads. 69.7% of the year's uploads ran 60 seconds or less. The median upload had 29,219 views, while Doctor Mike's median upload had 1,971,067 (our calculation).

Patients' and families' own health stories, children on video and counted-only roleplay are published as class and counts only. We withheld 194 videos from the public files: 91 channels at channel level and 7 single videos in otherwise named channels, such as a teaching exam of a child (our calculation). The files are youtube-videos.csv (every sample video), youtube-channels.csv (every channel and its class) and youtube-us-primary-care-channels.csv (the year of uploads).

What do studies find about YouTube and TikTok videos on blood pressure, diabetes and vaccines?

Many of the popular videos on the conditions primary care manages are rated poor or misleading. In a 2023 study of 104 YouTube videos on lowering blood pressure, two reviewers rated 49% misleading (Hypertension Research, Kaya et al.). In a study published in 2018 of 393 YouTube videos on diabetes diet and treatment, 25.7 percent contained misleading information (Health Informatics Journal, Gimenez-Perez et al.). Our cardiology page covers heart attack, heart failure and home blood pressure videos, and our pediatrician page covers childhood vaccine videos.

The table lists the content studies on primary care topics that we read in PubMed abstracts on November 9, 2026. Each one is a snapshot of top-ranked, most-viewed or hashtag-searched videos, scored by two or three raters with tools such as DISCERN, the Global Quality Scale (GQS, 1 to 5) or the JAMA benchmark criteria. The year is the search year where the abstract gives it, otherwise the publication year.

Who made a video mattered more in some studies than others. In the 2018 YouTube diabetes study, videos showing ‘alternative medicine’ professionals were useful 17% of the time, against 57% of the other professional videos (Gimenez-Perez et al.). In the August 2020 Spanish-language flu vaccine sample, user-generated videos were more likely than health professionals’ videos to contain hoaxes (odds ratio 15.56) (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Hernández-García et al.). In the 2025 Chinese diabetes study, by contrast, the authors rated health professionals’ videos below non-professionals’ for quality (Digital Health, Sun et al.).

Popularity and quality rarely moved together. In the 2026 Chinese hyperlipidaemia study, likes showed almost no correlation with quality (absolute rho of 0.09 or less) (Scientific Reports, Yan et al.). In the October 2020 colon cancer screening sample, videos without a physician averaged 1,148,677 views, far above videos with gastroenterologists (Cureus, Kahlam et al.). The 48 COVID-19 vaccine videos from December 2020, found on the UK version of YouTube, had 30,100,561 views between them (JMIR Public Health and Surveillance, Chan et al.), and the median #covidvaccine TikTok in July 2021 had 1,700,000 plays (JMIR Infodemiology, van Kampen et al.). Smaller topics draw far less: the median Spanish-language type 2 diabetes video in the 2025 study had 1,725 views (Health Informatics Journal, Soto-Chávez et al.).

We found no peer-reviewed study in PubMed that rated YouTube or TikTok videos about annual physicals or routine checkups. The studies above sample the top of a search or hashtag at one moment, and most do not say what share of all uploads they cover.

How many primary care visits happen by video?

In 2023, virtual visits made up 7% of primary care visits for traditional Medicare beneficiaries, in a study of 100% of Medicare claims (JAMA Health Forum, Ganguli et al., 2026). That year, 14% of beneficiaries who saw primary care used telemedicine to do so (Ganguli et al.). That study counts video and audio-only together and covers mostly people 65 and older. Over the same years, primary care visits fell from 2.54 to 2.27 per Medicare beneficiary per year between 2017 and 2023 (Ganguli et al.). For national adult and Medicare telehealth use beyond primary care, see our healthcare video statistics.

Single health systems show how far the video share has varied by setting and year:

Telehealth use fell back after 2021 in most settings. In OCHIN’s safety-net clinics, the predicted probability that an urban patient’s visit was telehealth fell from 37.9% to 24.7% between April 2021 and March 2023, while small rural areas held steady (Journal of Rural Health, Larson et al.).

A video visit more often leads to a second, in-person visit soon after. In the 2021 health-system study, 6.2% of video visits and 7.6% of telephone visits were followed by an in-person primary care visit within 7 days, against 1.3% of office visits; emergency department visits followed 1.8% of video visits and 1.6% of office visits (Annals of Internal Medicine, Reed et al.). Medications were prescribed in 38.4% of video visits, against 46.8% of office visits, after adjustment (Reed et al.). Before the pandemic, the gap was small: follow-up within 7 days came after 25.4% of patient-scheduled video visits and 24.5% of office visits (JAMA Network Open, Reed et al., 2021).

On antibiotics, the comparison depends on what is compared. At Kaiser Permanente Northern California in 2020, antibiotics were ordered in 7.5% of primary care video visits against 5.2% of telephone visits (BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, Juergens et al.). For 49,973 adult visits for upper respiratory infections in Atlanta-area primary care from 2020 to 2023, telemedicine and in-person visits did not differ (adjusted odds ratio 1.00) (Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare, Garrett et al., 2026).

Missed appointments and satisfaction point in different directions. In the urban public health system (November 2019 to August 2021), video visits were missed more often than in-person visits (adjusted odds ratio 2.02 in the later period), while telephone visits were missed less often (Journal of General Internal Medicine, Chen et al.). In 9,862 satisfaction surveys from a New York City academic primary care practice from 2018 to 2022, video-visit patients scored getting an appointment 4.48 out of 5, against 4.34 for in-person patients (Telemedicine and e-Health, Verma et al.). Of 797 patients surveyed after a fee-for-service video visit, 91% said it was more convenient than office care (Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, Mohan et al.). In a 2020 Massachusetts survey of 1,692 primary care patients, a Zoom video visit rather than a phone call was linked to higher satisfaction (odds ratio 2.8) (Telemedicine and e-Health, Vosburg et al.). These are observational studies in single systems; none was randomised.

Do education videos before or during a primary care visit change screening or knowledge?

In the randomised trials we found, videos raised knowledge or discussion more often than they raised screening. In a 2004 trial of 938 patients aged 50 to 74 at 5 primary care practices in central Massachusetts, a colorectal cancer screening video mailed before a physical left overall screening at 55% in both the video and usual-care groups (Annals of Internal Medicine, Zapka et al.). In the PreView trial of 508 primary care patients at 6 sites, published in 2019, a pre-visit video tool did not significantly raise mammography, Pap or colorectal screening, but 58% of the video group reported discussing PSA screening, against 36% of controls (Journal of General Internal Medicine, Walsh et al.).

Smaller trials found larger effects. In the 2023 LungCARE pilot, 66 primary care patients eligible for lung cancer screening used a tablet video assessment in the waiting room or got usual care; 32% of the video group completed screening, against 13% of controls (Journal of General Internal Medicine, Walsh et al.). In a 2017 trial of 89 African American primary care patients, a culturally tailored decision-aid video raised knowledge of colorectal screening options; 23% of all patients had a colonoscopy within 3 months (Cancer, Hoffman et al.).

Two newer trials measured knowledge and attitudes. Among 102 Penn State Health family medicine patients from 2022 to 2023, those who watched five short cooking videos while waiting for their provider reported more interest, confidence and intention than those given handouts (Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, Johnston et al.). In a 2026 trial of 232 adults with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes at a primary care clinic in Malaysia, web-based education videos raised diabetes knowledge scores against standard care (beta 23.74) (PLOS ONE, Thew et al.). Video did not beat text in a 2023 trial of 1,056 adults with inflammatory bowel disease: 75% of the video group and 72% of the text group intended to get a flu shot, and actual vaccination did not differ (Journal of Medical Internet Research, Long et al.).

How many family doctors are there in Florida?

Florida’s 2026 physician workforce report lists 7,418 physicians with a practice specialty of family medicine, counting survey respondents who renewed a Florida license between July 2024 and June 2026 and give patient care (Florida Department of Health). The survey is part of license renewal and covers the 58,172 renewing physicians who answered it and provide direct patient care (Florida DOH). Newly licensed doctors are not surveyed and not everyone answers every question, so this is a survey count, not a head count of every family physician in the state.

Of those 7,418, 365 practise out of state (Florida DOH) and 22 give no county (Florida DOH), which leaves 7,031 family physicians at a Florida county address (our calculation).

The same report’s primary care table prints a different total: 8,926 respondents reporting family medicine (Florida DOH), 6,538 of them with a primary care subspecialty (Florida DOH). That 8,926 is the same figure as the 2025 report’s county-appendix total for family medicine, 8,926 (Florida DOH, 2025 report), so the 2026 table appears to repeat last year’s count. The 2025 report put its primary care subset at 8,585 (Florida DOH, 2025 report). We print both and treat the 2026 county appendix as the current count.

The report defines primary care as general internal medicine, general family medicine and general pediatrics. On that definition Florida has 17,872 primary care physicians in the 2024-26 survey (Florida DOH), and family physicians are 36.58% of them (Florida DOH). The department also reports that, as of 2026, 66 Florida counties, every county but Monroe, have a federal primary care shortage designation in all or part of the county (Florida DOH, citing the Rural Health Information Hub). A shortage designation describes an area, not a number of doctors.

Palm Beach, Broward and Martin together hold 14.9% of the family physicians with a Florida county address in the 2024-26 survey (our calculation). The 2025 report covered 62,209 responding physicians who renewed between July 2023 and June 2025 (Florida DOH, 2025 report). The two renewal windows overlap by a year and reach different respondents, so the county columns are two snapshots, not a trend.

In the 2024-26 survey, 1,087 family physicians said they plan to change their scope of practice in the next five years, by stopping patient care in Florida, leaving the state or changing specialty (Florida DOH). Family medicine made up 12% of the physicians planning to move out of state (Florida DOH). These are stated plans, not observed moves. The report gives age and retirement only for all specialties together: 33% of respondents were 60 or older (Florida DOH), 7,483 plan to stop direct patient care within five years (Florida DOH), and 70.77% of those who gave a reason named an approaching retirement date (Florida DOH). The report asks no telehealth question, so it cannot say how many Florida family physicians see patients by video.

How often do family doctors see patients by video?

In the American Medical Association’s 2024 Physician Practice Benchmark Survey, 63.3% of family and general medicine physicians had given at least one video visit in the week before they answered (AMA). The AMA is the physicians’ association; the survey is a weighted national sample of physicians who had finished residency and saw patients at least 20 hours a week, fielded from late August to late September 2024, and its family and general medicine group is 541 physicians (AMA). For comparison, 57.8% of all primary care physicians (AMA) and 49.6% of physicians in every specialty (AMA) had given a video visit that week.

Most family physicians who used video used it for a small part of their week. In the same 2024 survey, 36.7% gave no video visits that week (AMA), and 10.7% gave more than a fifth of their weekly visits by video (AMA). Counting audio-only calls as well, 20.1% gave more than a fifth of their visits remotely (AMA).

Medicare claims show the same small share. In the AMA’s own analysis of a sample of 2024 Medicare Part B fee-for-service claims, 86.9% of family and general medicine physicians’ allowed charges were for services that could have been billed as telehealth (AMA), but only 4.1% of those eligible charges were billed as telehealth (AMA). Across all physicians the figure was 3.7% (AMA). Medicare covers mostly people 65 and older and people with disabilities, so these claims describe that population only.

Practice ownership matters. Among primary care physicians in the AMA’s 2024 survey, 70.1% of those in private practice worked in practices that offered video visits (AMA), against 78.9% of those in hospital-owned practices (AMA). This measures whether a practice used video at all, not how often.

The federal survey points the same way. In the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics National Electronic Health Records Survey, 86.2% of office-based primary care physicians worked in practices that used telemedicine for patient visits in 2024 (NCHS), down from 91.4% in 2021 (NCHS). Across all office-based physicians the 2024 share was 80.0% (NCHS). The 2024 estimates rest on 1,460 office-based physicians (NCHS). NCHS counts audio-only calls as telemedicine and groups general or family practice with internal medicine, primary care obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics, so it does not report family medicine alone. Smaller practices used it less: 70.6% of solo physicians (NCHS) and 74.0% of physicians in physician-owned practices (NCHS) were in practices using telemedicine in 2024.

The 2021 round of the same survey asked primary care physicians how telemedicine worked for them. 14.7% used it for half or more of their patient visits (NCHS), 76.7% said they could give a similar quality of care by telemedicine as in person “to some extent or a great extent” (NCHS), 65.5% were satisfied with the technology (NCHS), and 15.5% said it was not appropriate for their specialty or patients (NCHS). These are physicians’ own judgments, not measured patient outcomes.

Who owns family practices, and how much is spent on primary care?

In the AMA’s 2024 Benchmark Survey, 42.2% of family medicine physicians were in private practice, meaning a practice wholly owned by physicians (AMA). That is the same share as for all physicians, 42.2% (AMA). Across all specialties, 47.4% of physicians worked in practices with 10 or fewer physicians (AMA), 11.9% were in solo practice (AMA) and 57.5% were employees rather than owners or contractors (AMA). The AMA papers give no practice-size split for family medicine.

Primary care receives a small share of U.S. health spending. In the Milbank Memorial Fund’s 2025 primary care scorecard, written by Yalda Jabbarpour and colleagues and co-funded by the Fund and The Physicians Foundation, primary care physicians received 4.6% of health care spending on average over 2012-2022 (Milbank Memorial Fund). The same authors’ February 2026 report found that less than 5% of U.S. health care spending went to primary care in 2022 (Milbank Memorial Fund) and that only 19% of physician trainees entered primary care (Milbank Memorial Fund). Both use the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and other public data; they are the authors’ analyses, not a survey of their own.

The 2025 scorecard counted a national average of 103 primary care clinicians (physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants) per 100,000 people (Milbank Memorial Fund), and found that nearly 31% of U.S. adults had no usual source of care in 2022, the highest in its decade of data (Milbank Memorial Fund). That figure counts people who named the emergency department as no usual source; NCHS’s own measure, reported elsewhere on this page, uses a different survey and wording.

How many family doctors bill Medicare, and for what?

CMS’s Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners file lists 83,639 providers of type Family Practice who billed Medicare Part B fee-for-service in 2024 (CMS), down 1.0% from 84,471 in 2019 (CMS) (our calculation). 2024 is the newest year CMS has published; its data catalog lists no 2025 file. Original Medicare covers mostly people 65 and older and people under 65 with long-term disabilities. The file counts Part B fee-for-service claims only: it leaves out Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid, private insurance and patients who pay themselves, and it does not list providers with fewer than 11 Medicare beneficiaries. It cannot separate video visits from in-person ones, because it carries no billing modifiers. It counts providers billing one payer. It is not a head count of family physicians.

CMS gives each provider one type a year, assigned from the claims, and reports Family Practice, Internal Medicine and General Practice as separate types. This page keeps them apart. CMS lists 93,627 providers of type Internal Medicine in 2024 (CMS), up 0.9% from 92,769 in 2019 (CMS) (our calculation), and 3,556 of type General Practice in 2024 (CMS) against 4,775 in 2019 (CMS). Internal Medicine is shown as context: the file does not say which internists work in primary care. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants who work in primary care bill under their own CMS types and are not in these counts. A search of both files for any type containing “amily” finds only Family Practice in 2019; in 2024 it also finds Marriage and Family Therapist, a separate type this page leaves out.

Florida’s Family Practice count rose 0.3% from 2019 to 2024, and Florida holds 5.9% of the U.S. total in 2024 (our calculation). The file cannot say why a count moves. A provider drops out if patients move to Medicare Advantage, if the provider falls under the 11-patient floor, or if the provider stops billing Medicare, and the file does not separate those cases.

How many family doctors bill Medicare in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin counties?

246 providers of type Family Practice with a Palm Beach County practice address billed Medicare Part B fee-for-service in 2024, 437 in Broward County and 50 in Martin County, by our match of CMS’s by Provider file to the Census Bureau’s ZIP-to-county relationship file. The three counties hold 14.9% of Florida’s 4,914 providers of that type (our calculation). This is the same original-Medicare count as above. It says who billed original Medicare, not how many family physicians practice in each county.

A ZIP code split across counties goes to the county holding most of its land, so a practice in a border ZIP can count in the neighboring county. The county counts and payment sums are in this page’s aggregate CSV, which holds no provider names or NPIs.

How much does Medicare pay family doctors, and who are their Medicare patients?

Medicare paid providers of type Family Practice $5.27 billion (5,265,332,572) for Part B fee-for-service services in 2024, by our sum of CMS’s by Provider file, up 6.1% from $4.96 billion (4,962,141,215) in 2019, before inflation (our calculation). A payment total is what Medicare paid for services. It is not a physician’s income, and it leaves out what Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid, insurers and patients paid.

A median provider is the one in the middle of the list: half received more and half received less. The median provider of type Family Practice received $31,326 from Medicare Part B fee-for-service in 2024, against $35,355 in 2019, before inflation, and treated 147 Medicare patients, against 192 in 2019 (our calculation).

Their Medicare patients averaged 74.1 years of age in 2024 (our calculation, weighting each provider’s published average by that provider’s patients). CMS flags chronic conditions from each patient’s Medicare claims. Weighted the same way, those flags put 71.1% of the Medicare patients of providers of type Family Practice in the hypertension group in 2024, 71.3% in the high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) group and 31.9% in the diabetes group, on the rows that publish the figures (our calculation). A patient can be in several groups, and a patient seen by two providers counts twice. CMS withholds a percentage where it could identify a small number of people, so those rows are left out.

How many Medicare patients get annual wellness visits, chronic care management or virtual check-ins?

10.0 million (10,019,118) Medicare beneficiaries had a subsequent annual wellness visit on an office-setting line in 2024, and 285,706 on a facility-setting line such as a hospital outpatient clinic (HCPCS G0439) (CMS). The office figure is up 23.8% from 8.10 million (8,095,622) in 2019 (CMS) (our calculation). CMS’s file describes the annual wellness visit codes as including “a personalized prevention plan of service”. The initial visit (HCPCS G0438), a beneficiary’s first, moved the other way: 653,791 office-setting beneficiaries in 2024 (CMS), down 38.6% from 1.06 million (1,064,701) in 2019 (CMS) (our calculation). The file does not say why.

1.32 million (1,321,899) beneficiaries had chronic care management with at least 20 minutes of clinical staff time in a month (CPT 99490) on an office-setting line in 2024 (CMS), up 49.5% from 884,118 in 2019 (CMS) (our calculation). 192,138 had complex chronic care management (CPT 99487) (CMS) and 89,254 had chronic care management of at least 30 minutes of the practitioner’s own time (CPT 99491) (CMS) in 2024; CMS describes both as services “for two or more chronic conditions”.

28,714 beneficiaries had a virtual check-in (HCPCS G2012), which CMS describes as a “brief communication technology-based service”, on an office-setting line in 2024 (CMS), up 264.7% from 7,873 in 2019 (CMS) (our calculation). It is the only code here that is technology-based by definition; for every other code the file cannot say whether the visit happened by video. For scale, 21.0 million (21,005,950) beneficiaries had an established-patient visit with a moderate level of decision making (CPT 99214) on an office-setting line in 2024 (CMS). The 2019 file lists 23.6 million (23,594,693) for 99214 under a description of a visit “typically 25 minutes” (CMS), so the two years do not describe the same service and this page does not compare them. After a hospital or facility discharge, 615,260 beneficiaries had moderate-complexity transitional care management (CPT 99495) (CMS) and 571,657 had high-complexity transitional care management (CPT 99496) (CMS) on office-setting lines in 2024.

Advanced primary care management, billed monthly under HCPCS G0556, G0557 and G0558, starts in 2025 (see the rules section), so CMS’s 2024 file has 0 national rows for those codes (CMS). No published CMS file yet shows how many patients they reach.

These counts come from CMS’s by Geography and Service file and cover every specialty, not family physicians alone. They count patients, not services, and a patient billed in two settings counts on each row. Original Medicare only: no Medicare Advantage, Medicaid or private insurance.

Who bills Medicare annual wellness visits and chronic care management?

Providers of type Family Practice hold 38.8% of the lines CMS’s 2024 by Provider and Service file lists for subsequent annual wellness visits (our calculation): 42,925 Family Practice lines (CMS) of 110,731 lines for all provider types (CMS). For initial annual wellness visits they hold 44.4%, 7,060 (CMS) of 15,892 lines (CMS), and for chronic care management under CPT 99490 they hold 23.5%, 4,516 (CMS) of 19,178 lines (CMS) (our calculation). A line is one provider billing one code to 11 or more Medicare beneficiaries in one setting. Providers who billed the code to fewer are not listed, and a provider billing in both office and facility settings has two lines, so these are shares of listed lines, not of patients or of all providers.

How many family medicine physicians are there, and what do they earn?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated 107,510 wage and salary jobs for family medicine physicians (SOC 29-1215) in the U.S. in May 2025, in its Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) survey of employers (BLS). Their median annual wage was $244,180 (BLS). The job estimate has a relative standard error of 5.1% (BLS). Family medicine has its own BLS occupation code, so the figures in this section are specific to family medicine physicians unless labelled otherwise. OEWS counts jobs that employers report and leaves out physicians who own their practices and take profits rather than a wage.

The Occupational Outlook Handbook, which also counts the self-employed, puts family medicine physicians at 114,300 U.S. jobs in 2025 (BLS). BLS’s Employment Projections put the self-employed share of those jobs at 3.8% in 2025 (BLS). Both are counts of jobs, not of licensed family physicians.

Family medicine physicians held 14.2% of the 754,760 U.S. wage and salary jobs BLS counted for physicians of all specialties (SOC 29-1210) in May 2025 (BLS) (our calculation). Two neighbouring codes are shown here only as context. General internal medicine physicians (SOC 29-1216), a separate occupation that also provides adult primary care, held 67,150 U.S. wage and salary jobs (BLS). BLS’s catch-all occupation “Physicians, all other” (SOC 29-1229) held 342,720 (BLS). OEWS sorts jobs by what employers report, and BLS does not say how many family physicians are reported under the catch-all code, so the 29-1215 count should not be read as a headcount of family doctors.

How is family medicine pay spread?

The mean annual wage for U.S. wage and salary family medicine physicians was $255,820 in May 2025, above the median, per BLS OEWS (BLS). One in ten of these jobs paid less than $76,830 a year (BLS), and one in ten paid more than $428,550 (BLS). None of the May 2025 family medicine wage figures the BLS data service returned was blank or carried a top-coding footnote, so these medians are not capped. They cover wages and salaries only, not practice owners’ profits.

Among the 17 detailed physician and surgeon occupations in the Occupational Outlook Handbook’s May 2025 pay list, family medicine physicians had the second-lowest median annual wage, $244,180; only general pediatricians ranked lower (BLS). General internal medicine physicians, shown here as context, had a U.S. median of $256,560 (BLS).

Where do family medicine physicians work?

Offices of physicians employed 68.8% of U.S. wage and salary family medicine physicians in May 2025, per BLS OEWS: 73,970 jobs (BLS) (our calculation). General medical and surgical hospitals employed 19,670 (BLS), or 18.3% (our calculation). The offices-of-physicians industry in this OEWS breakdown is the four-digit NAICS 6211, which also includes offices of mental health specialists. BLS has no separate industry for family medicine practices: they sit inside offices of physicians, the shared industry in the next section.

How many family medicine physicians work in Florida and in the Miami and Port St. Lucie areas, and what do they earn?

Wage and salary family medicine physicians in Florida had a median annual wage of $227,700 in May 2025, per BLS OEWS (BLS), $16,480 below the U.S. median (our calculation). Their mean annual wage was $222,290 (BLS). BLS did not release a May 2025 Florida job count for family medicine physicians: the Florida employment estimate, its error measure, jobs per 1,000 and location quotient all carry the footnote “Estimate not released,” while every Florida wage measure was published.

The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metro area, which holds Palm Beach and Broward counties, follows the same pattern: BLS released wages but not a job count. Its May 2025 median annual wage for family medicine physicians was $227,700 (BLS), the same figure as Florida’s, and its mean was $205,800 (BLS). BLS publishes no OEWS estimates for the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach metropolitan division (its data service returned no series, even for all occupations) or for any county.

The Port St. Lucie metro area, which holds Martin and St. Lucie counties, is the one local area with a published job count: 170 wage and salary family medicine physician jobs in May 2025 (BLS). That estimate is rough, with a relative standard error of 38.2% (BLS). The area’s location quotient was 1.42 (BLS), meaning family medicine physicians made up a larger share of its wage and salary jobs than nationally. Its median annual wage was $239,990 (BLS) and its mean $263,630 (BLS).

For context, BLS estimated 2,390 wage and salary general internal medicine physician jobs in Florida in May 2025 (BLS), with a median annual wage of $222,600 (BLS). Those are a separate occupation, not family medicine. OEWS wage gaps between areas can reflect sampling error and the mix of employers, and BLS advises against comparing OEWS estimates across years.

How fast are family medicine physician jobs expected to grow?

BLS projects family medicine physician jobs to grow 3.3% from 2025 to 2035, per its Employment Projections (BLS), compared with 3.5% for all occupations (BLS) and 4.0% for general internal medicine physicians, shown as context (BLS). The Occupational Outlook Handbook puts that at 118,000 U.S. jobs in 2035 (BLS), up from 114,300 in 2025, a gain of 3,700 (BLS). BLS expects about 2.9 thousand openings a year from 2025 to 2035, from growth and from replacing workers who leave the occupation (BLS). These projections count all family medicine physician jobs, including the self-employed.

The Handbook discusses physicians and surgeons as one group and gives no separate reason for the family medicine projection. OEWS is not built for year-to-year comparison, so the Employment Projections are the better guide to direction.

How many physician offices are there in the U.S.?

BLS’s Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), which counts employers covered by unemployment insurance, averaged 226,698 private offices of physicians in the U.S. in 2025 (BLS). Family medicine practices are counted inside this industry, offices of physicians except mental health specialists (NAICS 621111), which every non-psychiatric specialty shares, so every figure in this section covers all physician offices except mental health specialists, not family medicine alone. The figures in the section above are the ones specific to family medicine physicians. Other specialty pages, such as our pediatrician video statistics and OB-GYN video statistics, carry the same shared figures.

Those offices averaged 2.9 million jobs (2,904,306) in 2025 (BLS), counting all staff and not only physicians, and average annual pay was $116,597 (BLS).

The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counted 204,617 U.S. employer offices of physicians in 2023, the newest year available when we checked (Census). Census’s Nonemployer Statistics counted 190,427 U.S. physician-office businesses with no paid staff in 2024 (Census). Those two counts cover different years and different kinds of business, so we do not add them. A nonemployer is any business with no paid employees, which can include part-time or side income, so that count is not a count of full-time practices. Both cover all physician offices except mental health specialists, not family medicine alone.

How has the number of physician offices changed since 1998?

County Business Patterns counted 184,949 U.S. employer offices of physicians in 1998, the first year it used the NAICS industry codes (Census), and 204,617 in 2023: a rise of 10.6% (our calculation). The count peaked among the years we pulled at 210,629 in 2018 (Census), after 209,522 in 2008 (Census), and fell 2.9% from 2018 to 2023 (our calculation). Over the same period, mid-March employment at those offices rose 71.0% (our calculation), so the average office grew larger.

Florida’s count grew faster: from 14,128 employer offices of physicians in 1998 (Census) to 19,994 in 2023 (Census), up 41.5% (our calculation). These are counts of all physician offices except mental health specialists, not family medicine practices. Census does not adjust them for changes in its methods over the period, and they leave out offices with no paid staff.

How many physician-office businesses had no paid staff in 2023?

Nonemployer businesses made up 47.7% of U.S. physician-office businesses in 2023, and 46.8% in Florida (our calculations). Those shares set Census’s 2023 Nonemployer Statistics, which counted 186,842 such businesses in the U.S. (Census) and 17,603 in Florida (Census), beside its 2023 County Business Patterns, so both inputs come from one year. A nonemployer can be side or consulting income, so this is a share of businesses on paper, not of full-time practices. Neither count separates family medicine practices from other physician offices except mental health specialists.

How many physician offices are there in Florida and in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin counties?

Florida averaged 21,918 private offices of physicians (NAICS 621111) in 2025, per BLS’s QCEW (BLS), 9.7% of the 2025 U.S. total (our calculation). Together Palm Beach, Broward and Martin counties averaged 4,556 private offices of physicians in 2025, 20.8% of Florida’s total (our calculation from QCEW annual averages). These are all physician offices except mental health specialists, not family medicine alone.

Average pay covers all staff in these offices, from front-desk workers to physicians. Census’s newest Nonemployer Statistics, for 2024, also counts physician-office businesses with no paid staff, shown in the table below. They are a different kind of business from the QCEW offices above and are not added to them. Neither BLS nor Census publishes a county count of family medicine practices.

How many physician offices earn money from telemedicine?

86,466 U.S. employer offices of physicians (NAICS 621111) reported some revenue from telemedicine services in 2022, per the 2022 Economic Census (Census): 42.9% of the 201,360 such offices it counted (Census) (our calculation). The table counts offices with any telemedicine revenue. It does not say how much of their revenue came from it, does not separate video from audio-only care, and covers all physician offices except mental health specialists, not family medicine alone.

How much do physician offices spend on advertising?

U.S. offices of physicians (NAICS 6211) spent $1.8 billion ($1,815,721 thousand) on advertising and promotion in 2024, per the Census Bureau’s Annual Integrated Economic Survey (Census). That was 0.28% of their total 2024 operating expenses (our calculation). It is a sample estimate, published only for the four-digit industry, so it covers all physician offices, including mental health specialists, not family medicine alone. The survey does not split advertising by medium, so it says nothing about spending on video.

How many Americans have a regular doctor, and how many saw one by video?

In 2025, 88.2% of U.S. adults 18 and over had a usual place to go for health care, according to NCHS's National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) (NCHS). That leaves 11.8% with no usual place (our calculation). The share has barely moved since 2019, when it was 87.8% (NCHS). NHIS asks about a place, not a named doctor, and does not count an emergency room as a usual place of care.

Age makes the biggest difference in the 2025 NHIS. 80.6% of adults aged 18-34 had a usual place of care, against 95.4% of adults 65 and over (NCHS). Among U.S. children under 18, whose parents answer for them, 96.4% had a usual place of health care in 2025 (NCHS).

In the 2025 NHIS, 84.7% of U.S. adults had seen a doctor or other health care professional in the past 12 months (NCHS). The figure was 84.9% in 2019 (NCHS) and fell to 82.3% in 2021, the low point of 2019-2025 (NCHS). In 2025 it ranged from 75.1% of adults aged 18-34 to 95.9% of adults 65 and over (NCHS). Among children under 18, 94.7% had a doctor visit for any reason in the past 12 months (NCHS). The survey does not say whether a visit was in person or by video.

Check-ups follow the same curve. 80.6% of U.S. adults had a wellness visit (a physical or general check-up) in the past 12 months in the 2025 NHIS (NCHS), up from 76.2% in 2021 (NCHS) and 78.9% in 2019 (NCHS). In 2025, 87.4% of adults had their blood pressure checked by a health professional in the past 12 months (NCHS).

The newest NHIS telemedicine figures NCHS has published for adults are for 2021 and 2022. In 2021, 37.0% of U.S. adults had a telemedicine appointment in the past 12 months (NCHS Data Brief 445), and use rose with age to 43.3% of adults 65 and over (NCHS). By 2022 the share had fallen to 30.1% (NCHS). NHIS counts video and phone appointments together, so these figures do not show video visits alone, and the NHIS summary tables on data.cdc.gov carry no telemedicine item for 2023-2025.

Walk-in sites now sit beside the regular doctor. In the 2025 NHIS, 28.2% of U.S. adults had visited an urgent care center in the past 12 months (NCHS) and 19.8% had visited a retail health clinic, such as one inside a pharmacy (NCHS).

How many office visits go to primary care, and what are they for?

Primary care physicians received 50.3% of the visits Americans made to office-based physicians in 2019, according to NCHS's National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) (NCHS). All office-based physicians together saw about 1.04 billion visits that year (1,036,484 thousand) (NCHS). The 2019 national summary tables are the newest NAMCS has published. They group general and family practice with internal medicine, pediatrics and the other primary care specialties, so they print no figure for family practice alone, and they count office visits, not video visits.

By the patient's own stated reason, the most common visit in the 2019 NAMCS was a progress visit, a follow-up on an existing problem, at 21.3% of office visits (NCHS). A general medical examination came second, at 5.8% (NCHS).

Most office visits involve a long-term condition. At 62.5% of U.S. office-based physician visits in 2019, the patient had one or more chronic conditions recorded, and at 24.5% the patient had three or more (NCHS). The conditions at the centre of family medicine lead the list:

How common are the conditions family doctors manage?

47.7% of U.S. adults had hypertension in August 2021-August 2023, by NCHS's measured National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) definition of 130/80 mm Hg or higher, or taking blood pressure medicine (NCHS Data Brief 511). Only 20.7% of adults with hypertension had it controlled below 130/80 mm Hg (NCHS). Self-reports run lower: in the 2025 NHIS, 27.7% of adults said a doctor or other health professional had told them they had hypertension (NCHS).

In the same NHANES period, 15.8% of U.S. adults had diabetes, diagnosed or not (NCHS Data Brief 516). 11.3% had a diagnosis (NCHS) and 4.5% had diabetes found only by the survey's blood tests (NCHS). So about 28.5% of adults with diabetes had not been diagnosed (our calculation). In the 2025 NHIS, a different survey that relies on self-report, 9.8% of adults said they had been diagnosed with diabetes (NCHS).

11.3% of U.S. adults age 20 and older had high total cholesterol (240 mg/dL or higher, measured) in August 2021-August 2023 (NCHS Data Brief 515). Far more say they have been told their cholesterol is high: 23.9% of adults in the 2025 NHIS (NCHS), up from 20.1% in 2019 (NCHS), a rise of 3.8 percentage points (our calculation). The two surveys measure different things, so the figures do not contradict each other.

In 2023, 51.4% of U.S. adults reported two or more of 12 selected chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, depression and arthritis, in CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) (Watson et al., Preventing Chronic Disease, 2025). 76.4% reported at least one of the 12 (Preventing Chronic Disease). Among adults 65 and over, 78.8% had two or more (Preventing Chronic Disease), and among adults aged 18-34 the share with two or more rose between 2013 and 2023 to 27.1% (Preventing Chronic Disease). The CDC authors used self-reported telephone survey answers, so conditions people do not know about are missed.

How many Florida adults have a personal doctor?

In CDC's 2025 BRFSS, 18.96% of Florida adults said they had no personal doctor or health care provider (CDC BRFSS). The median across all states, DC and territories was 15.7% (CDC BRFSS). Of Florida adults, 45.52% named one personal provider (CDC BRFSS) and 35.52% had more than one, or a group of doctors (CDC BRFSS), so 81.04% had at least one (our calculation). BRFSS added "or a group of doctors" to the question in 2022, so these answers cannot be compared with Florida's earlier years.

79.84% of Florida adults told the 2025 BRFSS they had visited a doctor for a routine checkup within the past year (CDC BRFSS). These are statewide estimates; county figures for Palm Beach, Broward and Martin were not gathered for this page.

How many adults get a flu shot each year?

In the 2025 NHIS, 41.8% of U.S. adults reported a flu vaccination in the past 12 months (NCHS), down from 46.8% in 2019 (NCHS), a drop of 5.0 percentage points (our calculation). Adults 65 and over had the highest rate, 63.7% (NCHS). These are self-reported answers to a household survey, not vaccination records.

What do primary care companies tell investors about doctors and video?

In their annual reports to the SEC, primary care companies describe video as a way to hold visits, not as a marketing tool: Privia Health's fiscal 2025 Form 10-K says its patients had completed over 4.7 million virtual visits by December 31, 2025 (Privia 10-K). Every company below sells primary care or virtual care, so each figure is the company's own count, not an independent one. We read each company's newest Form 10-K on SEC EDGAR, plus older reports for the deals.

The big deals. Amazon's fiscal 2023 report says it bought 1Life Healthcare, the company behind One Medical, to provide health care options for customers (Amazon 10-K). At the end of fiscal 2022, about two months before the sale, One Medical reported 836,000 members and said real-time video and phone consults were available typically within minutes, alongside same and next day office appointments (1Life 10-K). CVS Health bought Oak Street Health on May 2, 2023 (CVS 10-K) and paid its stockholders in cash, for a total consideration of $9,668 million (CVS 10-K). Oak Street Health ran 169 centers at the end of fiscal 2022 (Oak Street 10-K) and employed about 600 primary care providers (Oak Street 10-K). Under CVS Health the network had 204 centers at the end of 2023 (CVS 10-K) and 246 at the end of 2025 (CVS 10-K), up 20.6% in two years (our calculation).

Write-downs and closures. Walgreens recorded $12.4 billion of non-cash impairment charges on VillageMD goodwill in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 (Walgreens 10-K), and VillageMD approved the closure of about 160 clinics that year (Walgreens 10-K). VillageMD's sales still rose to $6.2 billion in fiscal 2024, partly offset by the closures (Walgreens 10-K). Fiscal 2024 is the newest Walgreens 10-K on EDGAR.

Doctors and their supply. Humana's fiscal 2025 report says its primary care business runs 350 clinics and employs its own primary care providers (Humana 10-K). P3 Health Partners says its 2,400 contracted physicians are less than 1% of about 544,000 primary care physicians in the U.S., a national figure P3 states without a source (P3 10-K). agilon had 28 anchor physician groups at the end of fiscal 2025 (agilon 10-K) and warns that its partners may struggle to recruit more PCPs because of competition in their areas (agilon 10-K). Privia's providers work in over 1,300 practice locations (Privia 10-K).

Video and virtual visits. Privia offers 24/7 on-demand virtual visits for immediate or primary care (Privia 10-K) and says over 95% of patients seen virtually did not return to the same doctor, or another in the same specialty, for a follow-up within seven days (Privia 10-K); that is Privia's own measure, not an outcome study. Teladoc lists primary care among its virtual care services (Teladoc 10-K) and says a visit is held via video or phone (Teladoc 10-K). On marketing, Privia is the one company here that names its channels: it runs targeted ads through print, direct mail, Google search and social media for provider and patient acquisition (Privia 10-K). Humana's fiscal 2025 report uses the words "primary care" 60 times and "video" not once, and 0 of the eight companies' newest reports we read use the phrase "family physician" (our calculation).

How often do annual reports to the SEC mention family or primary care physicians?

84 Form 10-K annual reports filed in 2025 contained the phrase "family physician(s)" or "primary care physician(s)", by our count with SEC EDGAR full-text search (our calculation). From 2001 to 2025 the total was 2,510 filings from 601 companies and other registrants. The yearly count was 66 in 2001, peaked at 127 in 2022 and stood at 84 in 2025; 79 more were filed in 2026 through November 9, the day we ran the search. Private practices file nothing with the SEC, so they are not in the count.

"Primary care physician" is the investor-facing term. It appeared in 2,346 filings from 2001 to 2025, against 313 for "family physician", 7.5 to 1 (our calculation).

Video is rare in these filings. From 2001 to 2025, 12.9% of filings with a physician phrase also contained "video" or "videos"; in 2025 it was 11 of the 84. The pairing peaked at 32 filings in 2022, the same year "telehealth" peaked beside a physician phrase at 46 filings. 15 filings from 2022 through November 9, 2026 pair a physician phrase with "YouTube".

We read the passages around the word in all 102 Form 10-K filings from 2022 through November 9, 2026 that contain a physician phrase and "video" or "videos", and put each in one class (our calculation):

• Telehealth or video visits: 36, among them One Medical, Oak Street Health, Privia, agilon, P3 and Teladoc. 14 contain the exact phrase "video visit" or "video visits".
• Marketing or patient-facing video: 31, most of them from medical device and drug makers describing patient education videos, testimonial videos or online video ads.
• Clinical devices or treatments: 14, such as capsule endoscopy video, surgical video platforms or a prescription video game.
• Training videos for clinicians or staff: 9.
• Unrelated uses: 12, such as video software, satellite video streaming, employee benefit plans or video meetings.

The search counts exact phrases only, so "family medicine", "family practice", "primary care provider" and "PCP" are not counted, and a filing that pairs a physician phrase with "video" need not link the two. The yearly counts, filer names and query links are in our counts file, and the class of every filing we read is in our contexts file.

What rules apply to family doctors’ videos and video visits?

Medicare’s pandemic-era telehealth flexibilities, including no geographic limits and the patient’s home as an originating site, now run to December 31, 2027 under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, as CMS’s CY 2027 Physician Fee Schedule final rule of November 9, 2026 describes it (Federal Register). Each rule below is dated and quoted from its own text: the public laws that extended Medicare telehealth, the CY 2025, CY 2026 and CY 2027 fee schedule rules for primary care codes, Medicare’s wellness visit regulations, Florida’s telehealth statute and Board of Medicine advertising rule, HIPAA, the FTC’s Endorsement Guides and YouTube’s health policies. This is a summary of what the texts say, not legal advice. Controlled-substance prescribing by telemedicine is covered on our psychiatrist video statistics page.

How has Congress extended Medicare’s telehealth flexibilities?

Congress has moved the end of the flexibilities five times between December 2022 and February 2026, each time by replacing one end date in section 1834(m) of the Social Security Act with another. The approval dates below are from each public law on GovInfo.

Public Law 119-37 was signed on November 12, 2025, after the September 30, 2025 end date had already passed (Public Law 119-37); the section itself does not say how claims from the weeks in between were to be paid, so we do not say either. The CY 2026 fee schedule final rule, published November 5, 2025 in that gap, said the removal of geographic and location limits for most Medicare telehealth was expiring, but that the patient’s home stayed a permitted originating site for the diagnosis, evaluation or treatment of a mental health disorder, including substance use disorder, and for monthly home-dialysis assessments (Federal Register).

Two related rules moved on separate dates. Medicare’s in-person visit requirement for mental health services furnished by telehealth was delayed to January 1, 2025 by Public Law 117-328 of December 29, 2022 (GovInfo), then to January 31, 2026 by Public Law 119-37 (GovInfo), and now to January 1, 2028 under section 6209(d) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 (Federal Register). The same law extends Medicare payment for audio-only telehealth to January 1, 2028 (Federal Register). In the current regulation, 42 CFR 410.78(b)(3)(xiv), payment for mental health telehealth to a patient at home depends on an in-person service by the practitioner within 6 months before the first telehealth service (eCFR). Under 42 CFR 410.78(a)(3), audio-only telehealth to a patient at home is allowed when the patient cannot use or does not consent to video, and the claim must carry CPT modifier 93 (eCFR).

What did the CY 2025, CY 2026 and CY 2027 fee schedule rules change for primary care?

CMS’s CY 2025 Physician Fee Schedule final rule, published December 9, 2024 and effective January 1, 2025 (Federal Register), created three Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM) codes, billed per calendar month by the practitioner responsible for all of a patient’s primary care:

• G0556 for a patient with one chronic condition or fewer (Federal Register);
• G0557 for a patient with two or more chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months (Federal Register);
• G0558 for a Qualified Medicare Beneficiary with two or more chronic conditions (Federal Register).

The patient’s consent must be obtained when APCM starts and documented in the medical record, under the CY 2025 rule (Federal Register). As CMS already required for chronic care management (CCM) and principal care management, the practitioner must tell the patient the service is available and that Medicare cost sharing usually applies (Federal Register). The patient must also be told that only one practitioner can furnish and be paid for APCM in a calendar month, and that consenting does not limit the use of other practitioners (Federal Register). A Medicare annual wellness visit can serve as the initiating visit for a new APCM patient if the practitioner who will furnish APCM performs it (Federal Register).

The same CY 2025 rule ended Medicare payment for the virtual check-in code G2012 and pays CPT code 98016 in its place from January 1, 2025 (Federal Register). G2012 describes 5-10 minutes of medical discussion with an established patient that does not stem from a related visit in the previous 7 days or lead to a visit within the next 24 hours or soonest available appointment (Federal Register). According to the rule, CPT 98016 does not require audio or video and is expected to be started by the patient (Federal Register).

The CY 2026 final rule took effect January 1, 2026 (Federal Register). It added three add-on codes, G0568, G0569 and G0570, for behavioral health integration and collaborative care billed by the same practitioner in the same month as an APCM code (Federal Register). It also lets a supervising practitioner meet direct supervision through real-time audio and video presence, not audio-only, for services without a 010 or 090 global surgery indicator (Federal Register).

The CY 2027 final rule was published November 9, 2026 and takes effect January 1, 2027 (Federal Register). CMS wrote that it did not receive any requests to add or remove services from the Medicare Telehealth Services List for CY 2027 by the February 10, 2026 deadline (Federal Register); it added codes it proposed itself, including G0686, a group medical session for several patients with a common condition, and its shared-medical-appointment add-on G0687 (Federal Register). The 2027 conversion factor for clinicians who are not qualifying APM participants falls by $0.77 (2.31 percent) from the 2026 factor of $33.4009 (Federal Register). On APCM, CMS wrote that uptake in the first year was less than anticipated, without giving a count (Federal Register). APCM dropped the CCM requirement to count and document minutes; instead, a practitioner who bills APCM must report the Primary Care MIPS Value Pathway (Federal Register). CMS also said it is “increasingly concerned about the relative undervaluation of primary care services” and asked for comment on office visits, the annual wellness visit and care management codes; that section is a request for information, not a finalized payment change (Federal Register).

Who qualifies for a Medicare annual wellness visit and the Welcome to Medicare exam?

Under 42 CFR 410.15, as read November 9, 2026, a patient qualifies for an annual wellness visit once past the first 12 months of Part B coverage and if no initial preventive physical examination or wellness visit was received in the past 12 months (eCFR). The first annual wellness visit must include, and take into account, a health risk assessment (eCFR). The initial preventive physical examination in 42 CFR 410.16, which Medicare calls the Welcome to Medicare exam, must be received no more than 1 year after a patient’s Part B coverage starts (eCFR).

What do Florida’s telehealth law and physician advertising rule say?

Florida’s telehealth law, s. 456.47, defines telehealth as the use of synchronous or asynchronous telecommunications technology by a telehealth provider to provide health care services; the term does not include e-mail messages or facsimile transmissions (Florida Statutes). A telehealth provider whose remote evaluation is sufficient to diagnose and treat is not required to research the patient’s medical history or do a physical examination before treating by telehealth (Florida Statutes). Medical records from telehealth visits, including video, audio, electronic or other records, are confidential (Florida Statutes). The section was created by chapter 2019-137, Laws of Florida, and amended in 2020, 2022 and three times in 2023 (Florida Statutes).

The Florida Administrative Code lists the latest adopted version of Board of Medicine Rule 64B8-11.001 (Advertising) as effective 3/19/2026, as read November 9, 2026 (Florida Administrative Code). Under rule 64B8-11.001(2)(c), a physician advertisement is false, deceptive or misleading if it “creates false or unjustified expectations of beneficial assistance” (Florida Administrative Code). A Florida physician who advertises on electronic media must keep an exact copy of the audio or video ad for at least six months from the date it airs (Florida Administrative Code). Florida law, s. 456.072(2)(d), allows an administrative fine not to exceed $10,000 for each count or separate offense (Florida Statutes).

What do HIPAA, the FTC and YouTube require of a practice’s videos?

HIPAA’s Privacy Rule, 45 CFR 164.501, as read November 9, 2026, defines marketing as a communication about a product or service that encourages recipients to purchase or use it, with listed exceptions (eCFR). A covered entity, such as a primary care practice that bills electronically, must obtain an authorization from the patient before using or disclosing protected health information for marketing, except face-to-face communications and promotional gifts of nominal value, under 45 CFR 164.508(a)(3) (eCFR). HIPAA’s de-identification standard lists “full face photographic images and any comparable images” among the identifiers that must be removed, at 45 CFR 164.514(b)(2)(i)(Q), so a recognisable patient photo or video is identifiable health information (eCFR).

The FTC’s revised Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255), which treat a patient testimonial in an ad as an endorsement, took effect July 26, 2023 (Federal Register). If an advertiser lacks substantiation that an endorser’s experience is representative, the ad should clearly and conspicuously disclose the generally expected performance in the depicted circumstances, under 16 CFR 255.2(b) (eCFR). When an endorsement is made through both visuals and sound, as in a video, the disclosure should be made in both the visual and audible portions (eCFR). Example 6 in 16 CFR 255.3 describes a doctor who claims in an ad that a drug will safely lower cholesterol by 50 points, based only on letters from satisfied consumers or a rodent study; the Guides say that endorsement would likely be deceptive and that both the advertiser and the doctor would be liable (eCFR).

YouTube’s medical misinformation policy, as read November 9, 2026, says it does not allow content that poses a serious risk of egregious harm by spreading medical misinformation that contradicts local health authority (LHA) guidance about specific health conditions and substances (YouTube Help). To qualify for YouTube’s health features, a licensed professional’s or organisation’s channel must have more than 1,500 valid public watch hours in the last 12 months, or 1.5 million valid public Shorts views in the past 90 days (YouTube Help). The program lists a Licensed Doctor eligible to practice medicine in the relevant country among the eligible licensed professions (YouTube Help). YouTube says some videos on health topics carry an information panel underneath the video giving context on the source (YouTube Help).

What do the popular primary care numbers really say?

Five numbers travel through primary care news stories, practice marketing pages and health agency pages: how many hours a primary care doctor would need each day, how much desk work comes with each hour of patient time, how many days of life more primary care physicians add, how much video lifts conversions, and how many adults have a chronic disease. We read each at its source and say below what that source measured. Pages that repeat a number are linked only as dated evidence of how it spread, never as a source for the number.

“A primary care doctor would need 26.7 hours a day”

It is a simulation of one doctor working alone, not a measurement of anyone’s workday. In August 2022 the trade site Healthcare Innovation wrote that primary care physicians following national guidelines would need 26.7 hours per day “to see an average number of patients” (HCI Innovation Group). The source is Porter and colleagues’ study in the Journal of General Internal Medicine (online July 2022, in print 2023). It applied 2020 preventive, chronic disease and acute care guidelines to hypothetical panels of 2,500 patients built to match U.S. adults in the 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (J Gen Intern Med, Porter et al., PubMed), and estimated that a physician working alone would need 26.7 hours a day (Porter et al.): 14.1 hours for preventive care (Porter et al.), 7.2 for chronic disease care (Porter et al.) and 3.2 for documentation and inbox work (Porter et al.), with acute care making up the rest. With team-based care, where nurses, dietitians and other staff take on part of the work, the physician’s share fell to 9.3 hours a day (Porter et al.). The University of Chicago’s release said the researchers judged that 65% of primary care services could be handled by other team members (UChicago News); the same release describes the input as “real patient data”, while the abstract calls the panels hypothetical.

Porter updated two older Duke University estimates built the same way, each covering only part of the job. Yarnall and colleagues (American Journal of Public Health, 2003) found that every U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendation for a panel of the same size would take 7.4 hours per working day (Am J Public Health, Yarnall et al., PubMed). Østbye and colleagues (Annals of Family Medicine, 2005) applied guidelines for 10 common chronic diseases (Ann Fam Med, Østbye et al., PubMed) and estimated 3.5 hours a day if every patient’s disease was stable and controlled (Østbye et al.), or 10.6 hours a day after a threefold time factor for uncontrolled disease (Østbye et al.).

Use instead: “A 2022 simulation (Porter et al., J Gen Intern Med) estimated that guideline-recommended care for a panel of 2,500 adults would take a primary care physician working alone 26.7 hours a day, or 9.3 hours with team-based care.” It shows that guidelines outrun clinic time; it does not count hours anyone worked.

“Primary care physicians spend nearly 2 hours on the EHR for every hour with patients”

The ratio comes from a study of four specialties, and the original counted “EHR and desk work”, not the electronic health record alone. In September 2016 Health Data Management reported that for every hour of face time with patients, nearly two additional hours went to “EHRs and other clerical work” (Health Data Management). The study, by Sinsky and colleagues in Annals of Internal Medicine and funded by the American Medical Association (the physicians’ association), directly observed 57 physicians in family medicine, internal medicine, cardiology and orthopedics in four states, in practices that volunteered and were described as high-performing (Ann Intern Med, Sinsky et al., PubMed). During the office day they spent 27.0% of their time on direct clinical face time with patients (Sinsky et al.) and 49.2% on EHR and desk work (Sinsky et al.); in the examination room, 37.0% of the time went to EHR and desk work (Sinsky et al.). The authors’ conclusion is the ratio: nearly 2 additional hours of EHR and desk work for each hour of face time within the clinic day (Sinsky et al.). After hours, the 21 physicians who kept diaries reported one to two more hours a night, mostly on EHR tasks (Sinsky et al.).

The “primary care” version arrived a year later inside a peer-reviewed paper Sinsky co-wrote. Arndt and colleagues (Annals of Family Medicine, 2017) opened their abstract with “Primary care physicians spend nearly 2 hours on electronic health record (EHR) tasks per hour of direct patient care” (Ann Fam Med, Arndt et al., PubMed). Their own data measured something else: total time in the EHR, from Epic event logs, for 142 family medicine physicians in one Wisconsin health system over three years (Arndt et al.). They spent 5.9 hours a weekday in the EHR per full-time clinical equivalent (Arndt et al.), 1.4 hours of it after clinic hours (Arndt et al.), and inbox management was 23.7% of the total (Arndt et al.).

Use instead: “In a 2016 time-and-motion study of 57 physicians in four specialties, 49.2% of office time went to EHR and desk work and 27.0% to face time with patients (Sinsky et al.); in a 2017 event-log study of family physicians in one health system, 5.9 hours a weekday went to the EHR (Arndt et al.).”

“Every 10 more primary care physicians per 100,000 people adds 51.5 days of life”

It is a county-level association, not a measured effect of adding doctors. Stanford Medicine’s February 2019 release ran the headline “More primary care physicians leads to longer life spans”, while its text said every 10 additional primary care physicians per 100,000 people “was associated with” a 51.5-day increase in life expectancy from 2005 to 2015 (Stanford Medicine). The study, by Basu and colleagues in JAMA Internal Medicine, used data from 3,142 U.S. counties (JAMA Intern Med, Basu et al., PubMed) and adjusted for health care, demographic, socioeconomic and behavioral factors. Its estimate was 51.5 days (95% CI, 29.5-73.5 days) (Basu et al.), against 19.2 days for 10 more specialists (Basu et al.). The authors also ran instrumental-variable and individual-level analyses with similar results, but the design is observational: it shows where physician supply and life expectancy moved together, not what adding physicians to a county would do. Over the same decade the mean county density of primary care physicians fell from 46.6 to 41.4 per 100,000, with larger losses in rural areas (Basu et al.). The release adds that the association was about one-fifth the size of poverty’s association with life expectancy (Stanford Medicine).

Use instead: “Across 3,142 U.S. counties from 2005 to 2015, every 10 more primary care physicians per 100,000 people was associated with 51.5 more days of life expectancy (Basu et al., JAMA Internal Medicine, 2019).” Keep the word “associated”.

“Video lifts conversions 80%”

The figure is a best case from one video vendor, EyeView, about a client website, not primary care. In February 2009 EyeView’s blog said viewers of its videos for one client, UMOO, were 80% more likely to become depositing users, comparing viewers with non-viewers (EyeView, archived), which does not test what adding a video does. By August 2010 Unbounce, a landing-page software seller, wrote that a study by eyeviewdigital.com showed video on landing pages can increase conversion by 80% (Unbounce, archived). Healthcare marketing carried it on with other names attached: a March 2018 Practice Builders guide for healthcare practices credits Hyperfine Media, a video agency, for landing-page video lifting conversion rates by 80 percent (Practice Builders), and a July 2026 Web Tonic page for health and wellness brands says video on healthcare landing pages lifts conversions by up to 80%, crediting WifiTalents, a statistics aggregator (Web Tonic). Both firms sell marketing.

The larger later evidence points the other way. Unbounce’s own 2021 analysis of about 35,000 customer landing pages in each of three periods (Unbounce) concluded that video appears to have a minimal or negative impact on landing-page performance (Unbounce). Its April 2025 article of landing-page examples still says landing pages with video can increase conversions by 80% (Unbounce). We found no conversion test by a primary care or family medicine practice. Use instead: “Unbounce’s 2021 study of about 35,000 landing pages per period found video had a minimal or negative effect; we found no conversion test by a primary care practice.”

“6 in 10 U.S. adults have a chronic disease”

It is a 2014 survey estimate that counts any diagnosis coded as chronic, and CDC has since replaced it. CDC’s “Chronic Diseases in America” page, first archived in December 2018, said 6 in 10 adults in the US have a chronic disease (CDC, archived) and 4 in 10 have two or more (CDC, archived), with no source or year on the graphic. CDC’s overview page before it used another study: as of 2012, about half of all adults, 117 million people, had one or more chronic health conditions (CDC, archived).

The source CDC lists for the newer figure is RAND’s 2017 chartbook by Buttorff, Ruder and Bauman, supported by the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease. It used the 2014 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey of the civilian noninstitutionalized population, so nursing home residents are left out, and it counted a condition as chronic when any of a person’s diagnosis codes was flagged chronic by the Chronic Condition Indicator, a broad code list rather than a few named diseases. On that basis 60 percent of American adults had at least one chronic condition (RAND) and 42 percent had more than one (RAND). RAND’s own summary page words the same figure as 60 percent of “Americans” (RAND), and by May 2025 CDC’s page also said “Six in 10 Americans” (CDC, archived).

By November 2025 CDC had changed the sentence: “Three in four American adults have at least one chronic condition, and over half have two or more”, citing Watson and colleagues’ 2025 Preventing Chronic Disease analysis of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System through 2023 (CDC, archived). The same page now gives 60% for adults ages 18-34 alone (CDC, archived). The old and new figures come from different surveys with different condition lists, so the move from 6 in 10 to three in four is not a like-for-like trend. Use instead: CDC’s current wording with its survey named: “Three in four U.S. adults have at least one chronic condition (CDC, from Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data through 2023).”

Every popular claim our research pages trace, 875 in all, is on one page: popular video statistics, fact-checked.

How we built this page

We started from the questions people search for about family medicine video statistics and looked for the organization that actually produced each answer. Every figure on this page sits in an evidence ledger with its source, the exact table or paragraph it came from, the measurement period, the population measured, and the date we checked it. This edition holds 521 figures from 51 publishers.

On November 9, 2026, each sourced figure on this page was re-fetched with the fetch cache cleared and matched against the recorded wording: BLS occupation wage estimates and the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (through the BLS data API and data files) and Employment Projections and Occupational Outlook pages (through Internet Archive copies, because bls.gov refuses automated requests); Census County Business Patterns, Nonemployer Statistics, the 2022 Economic Census and the Annual Integrated Economic Survey (through the Census data API); Medicare Part B figures through data.cms.gov, within its stated crawl delay; NCHS and CDC survey figures through the data.cdc.gov API and Internet Archive copies of cdc.gov (which refuses scripts; its robots file names no AI agent); the Florida Department of Health’s physician workforce reports; the AMA’s own Benchmark papers; the Milbank Memorial Fund and RAND; the Florida Statutes, Florida Administrative Code, eCFR, GovInfo and the Federal Register; YouTube Help pages; SEC filings on EDGAR; and journal abstracts (PubMed records re-read through NCBI’s E-utilities, because the pages answer scripts with a bot check). Our YouTube figures come from the YouTube Data API, our Medicare totals from CMS’s public files, and our filing counts from EDGAR full-text search. We left out sources whose robots rules bar AI agents, among them data.hrsa.gov, the Commonwealth Fund, AHRQ, AHA Journals and Newswise, and read JAMA, Annals of Internal Medicine and AHA journal papers only through their PubMed abstracts. We left out sources whose own terms bar AI use or automated collection: the American Academy of Family Physicians and its Robert Graham Center (their terms prohibit using content to train generative AI), the American Board of Family Medicine (its terms bar robot and spider software), and the ABMS, ACGME, AAMC and NRMP. We could not read bhw.hrsa.gov or hhs.gov (403), so there are no HRSA shortage-area counts except the one the Florida Department of Health reports. Medical subject matter is reported as each source states it. Nothing here is medical advice.

We only cite the producer: government agencies, regulators, company filings and official posts, and the survey owner's own report. We do not cite statistics roundups, Statista-style aggregators, or salary sites without a public method. We did not bypass paywalls or sign-up forms; where a full report was gated, we used only the figures its publisher states publicly.

Figures marked "our calculation" are arithmetic on the cited numbers, and anyone can reproduce them:

Limitations

• No single count of family doctors exists. BLS counts wage and salary jobs, its Occupational Outlook Handbook adds the self-employed, CMS counts providers who billed original Medicare under the ‘Family Practice’ type, and Florida’s survey counts license renewers who answered it. They differ, and Florida’s own report prints two family medicine totals that do not agree; we print them side by side rather than choose one.
• Medicare is one slice of family medicine. Original Medicare covers mostly people 65 and older and people with disabilities. The Part B file has no Medicare Advantage, no Medicaid and no private insurance, drops lines with fewer than 11 patients, and cannot separate video visits from office visits. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants bill under their own provider types. Payment comparisons are before inflation, and code counts cover every specialty.
• BLS has no family medicine figures below the metro level. OEWS did not release Florida’s or the Miami area’s job count, publishes no West Palm Beach division series and no county figures, and its Port St. Lucie estimate has a 38.2% relative standard error. NAICS 621111 covers all physician offices except mental health specialists, not family medicine alone, and advertising figures cover all physician offices.
• Survey years differ. NHIS figures are for 2025, NAMCS office visit tables stop at 2019 (the newest NCHS has published), NHANES covers August 2021 to August 2023, and the AMA’s Benchmark Survey is from 2024. The AMA family medicine estimates rest on 541 respondents.
• Most video studies are one search on one day. YouTube, TikTok and other content studies score top results for a short list of terms, often in one language, with different quality scales. Their shares are spreads across samples, not a rate for all primary care video. No study of videos about annual physicals or checkups was found in PubMed.
• Trials and telehealth studies vary in design. Some count video and audio-only visits together, some cover one health system, and some education-video trials found no difference on their main outcome. We report what each study measured and promise nothing about any test, treatment, program or practice.
• Our YouTube read follows YouTube’s ranking. The 592 videos are what YouTube’s search returned for three terms (the top 200 results of each, sorted by views, with no country filter) on November 9, 2026. It is not a census of primary care video. View counts are lifetime snapshots, and we sorted 387 channels by hand from their public text; credentials were not checked. Personal and family stories, children and counted-only material are published only as a class and counts, so some views cannot be recomputed from the public CSV.
• Filings count words. EDGAR full-text search finds a phrase, not a topic. We read the passages around the word in the 102 filings from 2022 on that also mention video; other filings are counts only.
• Rules are dated. Statutes and rules are reported as we read them on November 9, 2026. Medicare’s telehealth flexibilities run through December 31, 2027 unless extended again. This is not legal advice. Every “earliest we found” in the origins section rests on web pages, PubMed and the Internet Archive; newspaper databases were not searched.
