About CMS.gov

The Provider Data Catalog is a U.S. government resource operated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for exploring and downloading Medicare provider data. It covers categories including dialysis facilities, doctors and clinicians, home health services, hospice care, hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, long-term care hospitals, nursing homes, physician office visit costs, and supplier directories, with datasets comparing quality of care and pricing across Medicare-certified providers nationwide.

The catalog provides an API for programmatic access to the data, requiring an API key to integrate the data into applications. It also offers a search function for locating specific datasets.

The site is aimed at users seeking to compare healthcare providers and services, including developers building applications on top of Medicare provider data, and links to Medicare.gov for consumer-facing provider comparisons.
