Abstract:
The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) is a nationally representative survey of patient visits to office-based physicians, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. This request is for continued survey activities for the next three years with some modifications. The annualized 2015-2017 NAMCS sample size is projected to be 12,085 office-based physicians and CHC providers. The amount of supplemental funding determines sample size, thus the number of state-level estimates that can be generated. Funding allowed 34 state estimates in 2012, 22 in 2013, and 18 in 2014. This year funding accommodates estimates for 16 states.
