Hospital & Nursing Home Star Ratings Export

Unofficial tool. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any government agency. No government seals or logos are used. This product uses publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; it is not endorsed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Export star ratings for every federally certified hospital and nursing home in the US, straight from the current public Provider Data Catalog files. It's for senior-care referral and placement sites, health-plan and provider-network tools, healthcare analysts, journalists and researchers.

Input: facility type (nursing homes, hospitals or both), states, certification numbers (CCNs), name words, cities, ZIP prefixes, minimum overall / staffing / health inspection rating, ownership, abuse-icon and Special Focus exclusions, hospital types, or a radius search around a point (nursing homes).

Output: one row per facility.

• Hospitals: overall star rating, hospital type, ownership, emergency services, birthing-friendly designation and the measure-group counts (mortality, safety, readmission, patient experience, timely and effective care) with better / no different / worse than national.
• Nursing homes: overall, health inspection, quality measure (long-stay and short-stay) and staffing ratings with footnotes; reported, case-mix and adjusted nurse staffing hours; staff turnover; inspection deficiency counts and scores; fines and payment denials; Special Focus status, abuse icon and ownership-change flags; chain id, size and chain averages; beds and residents per day; coordinates.

A provider's star rating on an individual measure or domain may not be reflective of that provider's overall star rating.

Confirm on the official public comparison site before relying on a rating. Ratings are refreshed by the source monthly (nursing homes) and quarterly (hospitals); each row carries the source file name and modified date.

Privacy. Facility-level data only. The phone number is the facility's main line as published. You are responsible for your own CAN-SPAM, TCPA and do-not-call compliance when contacting any facility found here. The source's ownership file, which names individual owners and managers, is never read, chain names are not returned, and a legal business name is returned only when it carries a business or government entity marker, so no person names are returned. nameContains matches the facility name only.

Opt-out. Removal requests: support@lepidata.com (handled within 30 days). Send the facility's CCN; removed facilities are dropped from every run.

Free status rows (not charged): no-results, invalid-input, source-error, free-plan-limit, charge-limit-reached.

Example: {"facilityType":"nursing_home","states":["FL"],"minOverallRating":4,"excludeAbuseIcon":true,"sortBy":"rating","maxResults":500}

Not medical advice

Not medical advice and not a recommendation of any facility. Star ratings are one input; visit and ask questions before choosing care.

Data source and compliance

• Source credit: US government public data, the Provider Data Catalog datasets "Hospital General Information" and "Provider Information" (nursing homes). Public domain. Each run downloads the current files: 2 requests per facility type, 10 seconds apart, a declared User-Agent with a contact address.
• Unofficial data: confirm on the official public comparison site.
• Free-plan accounts get up to 100 results per run.

As published. Star ratings, penalties, the abuse icon and the special-focus status are passed through verbatim, with the dataset dates on every row. This tool adds no rankings or labels of its own.

Pricing. Pay per result: $0.25 per 1,000 facilities ($0.00025 each), the same price on every plan, no start fee. Free status rows are never charged.
