NAMCS is a sample survey designed to explore the provision and utilization of ambulatory care in the physician’s office—the setting where most Americans seek health care. The survey is conducted yearly throughout the coterminous United States by the Division of Health Resources Utilization Statistics of the National Center for Health Statistics.
