Provider Survey Component

Restricted data

Researchers can access restricted 2024 NAMCS Provider Survey Component data through the Research Data Center at the National Center for Health Statistics. Note that 2024 was considered a pilot year for the NAMCS Provider Survey Component. Consequently, these data are unweighted and will not allow for national estimates. No visit-level data were collected in 2024; only provider-level data are available. Two files are available—one for office-based physicians and one for physician associates.
