I would like to discuss a plan for conducting the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) to a sample of your providers.  This center has been assigned to a 1-week reporting period that begins on Monday, (reporting period start date) and ends on Sunday, (reporting period end date).

I will need to sample 3 providers from your center.  In order to do this, I will need the name, specialty, and estimated visit volume corresponding to the sample week for all physicians and advanced practice providers
only at the currently sampled in-scope location.

The term “advanced practice provider” is to be used by field representatives during the interview to refer to nurse practitioners, physician assistants, or certified nurse midwives. However, please note that some respondents may also use the terms “mid-level provider” or “non-physician clinician” to refer to this same group of providers.


Please include all providers even if they do not see expect to see patients during the sample week.

[wording before sample week]


Please include all providers even if they did not see patients during the sample week.

[wording after sample week]


In-scope locations include all fixed locations that provide health care, including module clinics, and specialty clinics. Please do not include providers that work solely at school-based clinics.



Please exclude anesthesiologists, dentists, hygienists, optometrists, pathologists, psychologists, podiatrists, and radiologists.  Please also exclude any interns, residents, or fellows. Include physicians (both MDs and DOs), nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and certified nurse midwives (CNMs).

List all providers from the currently sampled in-scope location, even if they did not expect see patients during the sampled week.  

[wording before sample week]

List all providers from the currently sampled in-scope location, even if did not see patients during the sampled week.
