National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2018 National Summary Tables

by Loredana Santo and Titilayo Okeyode

About this book

These tables describe visits to office-based physicians in the United States using the 2018 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. They cover physician practices, patients and the characteristics of visits in a single national statistical reference.

Topics include expected payment, reasons for visits, diagnoses, medications, services and the time spent with physicians. Survey methods, definitions and standard errors explain how the estimates were constructed and how they should be interpreted. The complete original publication preserves every table and note; its 2018 survey year is distinct from the 2021 publication edition.
