About CMS Provider Data

Medicare-enrolled healthcare facilities by location, drawn from the same files that feed the public Care Compare site. Six national directories are wired here: hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, hospice, inpatient rehabilitation, and long-term care hospitals. Hospitals carry type, ownership, emergency service, and overall rating by city, ZIP, county, or state. Nursing homes are the only directory with coordinates, so they are the only facilities reported with a distance, and they carry ownership, chain, certified beds, average daily residents, five separate star ratings, staffing hours, and Special Focus Facility status. Assisted living, independent living, and memory care are licensed by states rather than certified by Medicare and appear nowhere in this catalog, so an empty result means no Medicare-enrolled facility matched and never that there is no healthcare in the area. A missing rating is missing, never zero and never poor, and star ratings are a methodology snapshot rather than a guarantee about care received. Each file refreshes on its own cycle, so a hospital rating and a nursing home rating are not observations from the same moment.

⚠ This catalog lists Medicare-enrolled facilities only. Urgent care centers, freestanding emergency rooms, physician offices, retail clinics, and most outpatient sites never appear in it. An empty result means no Medicare-enrolled facility of the requested type matched the filters, never that there is no healthcare in the area.
