About this tool


We've combined our 8 original provider compare sites, giving you one place to start finding any type of care you need. New features include updated maps, new filters that help you identify the providers right for you, and a clean, consistent design that makes it easier to compare providers and find the information that's most important to you.

What can this tool do for me?

For people with Medicare or their caregivers who want to choose a Medicare provider (like physicians, hospitals, nursing homes, and others), this tool provides a single source search and compare experience, that lets you:

  • Find information about providers and facilities based on your individual needs
  • Get helpful resources to choose your health care providers
  • Make more informed decisions about where you get your health care

The information here should be used with other information you gather about providers and facilities in your area. In addition to reviewing the information here, you should talk to your doctor, social worker, or other health care providers when choosing a provider.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that runs the Medicare program, created this tool in collaboration with organizations representing people with Medicare, hospice organizations, other stakeholders, and other federal agencies. Although the tool was created for people with Medicare in mind, many of the measures shown here apply to people who may not have Medicare.

Information on this site isn't an endorsement or advertisement for any provider type. If information for a provider or facility isn't provided here, it doesn't mean they provide low quality of care or are non-compliant with the Medicare program. It may mean that CMS doesn't have data for that specific provider or provider type.

About using government data

Works of the U.S. government are in the public domain, and permission is not required to use them. An attribution to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as the source is appreciated. However, the data here, including star ratings, should not be construed as an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services of any health care provider's products or services. Conveying a false impression of government approval, endorsement or authorization of products or services is forbidden. See 42 U.S.C.1320b-10.

The star ratings and all data on this tool are provided as a service to the public, and are not intended to grant rights or impose obligations. Star ratings are limited in scope to the data sources they are derived from. A provider's star rating on an individual measure or domain may not be reflective of that provider's overall star rating.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and its contractors aim to provide accurate and complete information, but occasional errors may occur. Neither the U.S. Government nor CMS assumes any legal liability for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, product, or process shown here, or represents that the use of such information, product, or process wouldn't infringe on privately owned rights.
