From NJ.com

Researchers studying the crisis of America’s overcrowded emergency rooms are beginning to focus on this largely undocumented phenomenon, the super users who turn to hospital emergency rooms dozens, even hundreds, of times.

Researchers say a seemingly intractable problem could be solved, in large part, by focusing on just the top 1 percent of emergency room users, who in Camden alone cost $46 million over five years.
