Medical provider

Is that normal English nowadays? Or American English? I don't think I'd heard it before, though I was aware that it must imply nurse, etc., as well as doctor. It's a pity the term 'medic' is regarded as too informal. Ro Thorpe 23:51, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

You could use health care provider but I've been using the generic term medical care provider as medical care is now provided by NPs, PAs and docs. Mary Ash 00:37, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Ah, yes, healthcare provider sounds fine. I'm afraid I don't know NPs or PAs... Ro Thorpe 02:33, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
