Over the last six weeks, we've shared what the data reveals about rural General Surgery in America.

A pipeline producing a fraction of the surgeons needed. A workforce already past capacity. A retirement wave with no replacement. Access barriers closing the front door. And patients with nowhere else to go.

The numbers are sobering. But they are not a reason for paralysis: they are a reason for honest, data-led planning.

Every community deserves access to the right physicians. Rural communities deserve that too.

The rural General Surgery crisis is not one problem. It is five simultaneous failures.

1. A pipeline producing 13-22 rural surgeons per year against 1,700 open positions.
2. A workforce already operating at or above capacity.
3. A retirement wave removing 1.5 FTEs of access per surgeon lost.
4. Restricted access already hitting 1 in 4 practices and rising.
5. Consumers who won't wait and increasingly have nowhere else to go.

No single policy fixes all five. But understanding all five is where honest planning has to start.

11% of General Surgery practices are effectively unreachable. Voicemail. Extended hold. No path to schedule.

Not because those practices don't exist, but because when a new patient calls, no one answers. In 18% of practices with wait data, the wait is 31 days or longer.

The headline shortage is real. But the access deficit, the gap between a physician who is listed and one who is actually reachable, is where the real story lives.

It's presentation day at the NMHA Annual Meeting.

Today, Ron Flower takes the stage with Nobody Answered: What 1,500 Calls Reveal About Access in New Mexico. 16 years of secret shopper calls, 1,500 of them placed to New Mexico practices, a statewide access picture most executives are seeing for the first time, and a clear view of what a health system can fix without recruiting.

In 2022, 6.7% of General Surgery practices were classified as restricted. By 2024, that number had reached 25.9%, nearly 1 in 4 practices. In less than two years.

3Dhealth's benchmark dataset doesn't measure theoretical capacity. It measures what a new patient actually encounters when they pick up the phone.

In rural markets, where the next option is 60-90 miles away, a restricted practice isn't an inconvenience. It's the end of the road.

Delayed surgical care doesn't stay delayed. It becomes more expensive, more complex, more dangerous.

3Dhealth's benchmark call data (3,376 calls across 17 years and 40+ states) documents what new patients actually encounter:

→ Median wait doubled from 11 days (2019) to 21 days (2023 peak).
→ Restricted access rose from 6.7% (2022) to 25.9% (2024), nearly 1 in 4 practices.
→ 11% of practices are effectively unreachable.

The front door is closing. Faster than most realize.

57% of General Surgery patients expect access within four days. In rural markets, the reality is measured in weeks, not days.

3Dhealth's consumer survey found 28% of patients expect same-day or next-day access for General Surgery. Set that against the reality: a national median wait of 14-21 days, with rural markets frequently stretching to 6-12 weeks.

When the wait runs this long, patients stop seeking care altogether. That's the real cost.

Are you attending the NMHA Annual Meeting in Albuquerque? Keep an eye out for Ron Flower, and bring the team.

3Dhealth's President and CEO will be presenting Nobody Answered: What 1,500 Calls Reveal About Access in New Mexico, sharing our statewide New Mexico access data for the first time as a single picture, benchmarked against a national dataset of 115,000+ secret shopper calls across 244 health systems and 42 states.

The findings might surprise you. New Mexico is outperforming the national benchmark on appointment availability and has improved sharply since 2018. But New Mexico patients are more than twice as likely as patients elsewhere to reach voicemail instead of a scheduler.

That is an access failure invisible to every wait-time report a hospital produces, and it is exactly what Verified Access is built to catch. Whether you lead clinical operations, finance, revenue cycle, or risk, there is a data point in this session for you.

If you are heading to NMHA 2026, come find us. We would love to talk about what the data mean for your health system.
