National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey Health Center Component

The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) collects data about medical services for patients who aren't admitted to a hospital or other facility. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) launched NAMCS in 1973. Since 1989, NCHS has conducted NAMCS annually.

NAMCS collects data from two different ambulatory medical care provider settings:
Health centers, via the Health Center Component & office-based physicians and advanced practice providers, via the Provider Survey Component.

Health centers that participate in NAMCS serve areas and groups with limited access to medical care.
