Medicare Post-Acute Care & Hospice - by Provider and Service

The Medicare Post-Acute Care (PAC) & Hospice by Provider and Service dataset contains information on services provided to Medicare beneficiaries by home health agencies, hospices, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs), and long-term care hospitals. It includes information on demographic and clinical characteristics of beneficiaries served, professional and paraprofessional service utilization, submitted charges, and payments at the provider, state, and national levels. There are three additional reports which include information at the Home Health Resource Group, Resource Utilization Group, and Case-Mix Group levels for home health agencies, SNFs and IRFs.

Please note:

The data included may not be representative of a physician’s entire practice, as the file only includes information on Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries. The data are also not intended to indicate the quality of care provided and are not risk-adjusted to account for differences in underlying severity of disease of patient populations.

For the 2019 Medicare Post-Acute Care & Hospice by Provider and Service datasets only, we have modified the data for SNFs presented. Specifically, SNF data are reported in a separate file and only cover the period between January 1, 2019 and September 30, 2019.  This dataset can be found as a downloadable report under ‘Resources.’  More information can be found in the Methodology and FAQ documents.
