CPC = Comprehensive Primary Care.
↵a In the 2016 survey, 1 practice did not answer the question asking about practice staffing, resulting in a sample of 460 practices.
↵b Practice size was determined using practice-provided rosters of the primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who bill under their own National Provider Identifier. The roster files were collected in November 2012 and reported the number of these clinicians at the practice site in October 2012, the first month of CPC.
