What Is Ambulatory Care?

Ambulatory care is any medical service you receive without being admitted to a hospital. It's also known as outpatient care. This includes visits to a doctor's office, urgent care clinics, outpatient surgery centers, and diagnostic facilities.

Why It Matters

Ambulatory care is typically more convenient and cost-effective than inpatient hospital care. It allows you to receive diagnoses, treatments, and minor surgical procedures and then recover in the comfort of your own home, which can also reduce the risk of infection.
