CMS data toolkit
Free tools for public CMS data
Small, fast pages that help you find, follow and check the data the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services publishes. No sign up, and every result links to the official CMS page.
Runs in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded or tracked.
The tools
-
Data finder
Search every public CMS dataset by topic, provider type or plain words, and see what each one holds before you download it.
-
Release checker
See which datasets are new or updated across data.cms.gov, the Provider Data Catalog and data.medicaid.gov, checked every night.
-
Price file checker
Check a hospital price transparency file against the CMS template V3.0.0 rules, right on your own computer, before you publish or rely on it.
How these tools work
Private by design
Each page is plain files with no third party scripts, no cookies and no analytics. A strict security policy blocks any outside connection.
Straight from CMS
Data comes from the public CMS catalogs and every row links to the official page. Always confirm there before you rely on a date or a number.
Free and open
The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0. CMS data is a U.S. government work in the public domain.
