Every hospital page on this site is free and always will be. The paid tiers exist for people who need more than one provider at a time.
| Dataset | Providers | Years | Fiscal years | Figures | Verification |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hospitals | 6,608 | FY2017–FY2025 | 9 | 931,005 | how we check |
| Nursing homes | 14,200 | FY2021–FY2025 | 5 | 503,589 | how we check |
| Home health agencies | 8,821 | FY2022–FY2025 | 4 | 270,205 | how we check |
Rows and call limits below are what the API enforces, not marketing copy — a key that asks for more gets a 402 rather than a surprise invoice. The three datasets are priced together and verified differently; follow the verification link for each before relying on it.
| Tier | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|
| free One hospital at a time, current fiscal year. Enough to check we are right. | Free | Free |
| starter One state or one provider type, three years of history. | $80 | $960 |
| pro All providers, every year we hold, CSV export. | $200 | $2,400 |
| full Every year we hold, API plus bulk parquet/CSV. The tier that beats a report viewer. | $450 | $5,400 |
Longer terms are billed at the monthly rate — there is no discount for committing, and no penalty either. They exist because some buyers would rather raise one purchase order a year than twelve.

| Tier | Rows per response | Calls per day | Bulk export |

| free | 1 | 25 | no |
| starter | 500 | 2,000 | no |

Bulk export downloads a whole dataset — hospitals, nursing homes or
home health — as CSV or Parquet, one dataset per file, with the
verified flag on every row. It is counted separately from API calls
because one download is tens of megabytes.
Every figure is derived from a Medicare cost report coordinate. A wrong coordinate produces a number that looks entirely reasonable, so we check ours against hospitals whose audited statements are public and we publish the result including the failures. 19 of 1,704,799 figures carry a verified badge (net income, net patient revenue, total operating expenses, at 13 hospitals) — each derived from a cost report coordinate and then checked against that provider's audited financial statements, which we cite. No metric is verified across the dataset. Everything else is labelled unverified on every page and in every API response.
That is deliberate. A vendor who cannot tell you which of their numbers has been checked has not checked any of them. Each dataset publishes its own methodology, linked in the table above, including what failed and why.
Use the free tier on a hospital whose figures you already know. If we are wrong about that one, do not pay us.
