What it does

The actor reads the CMS Dialysis Facility dataset behind Medicare Care Compare, applies the filters you pass as input, and writes one normalized record per facility to the run's dataset. Each record carries location and contact details, ownership and chain affiliation, the services offered (in-center hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, home hemodialysis training, late shift), the overall 5-star rating, and the full set of CMS quality measures (mortality, hospitalization, readmission, transfusion, fistula use, infection, transplant waitlist) with both the facility rate and its category versus expected. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Three optional paid AI add-ons layer on top: a facility summary, a plain-English quality summary, and quality risk flags for low performers. Each is charged only when it produces usable output.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns 3 California dialysis facilities with AI facility summary, quality summary, and risk flags.

{
  "states": ["CA"],
  "maxFacilities": 3,
  "withAiSummary": true,
  "withAiQualitySummary": true,
  "withAiRisk": true,
  "chainOwnedOnly": false,
  "offersHomeDialysis": false,
  "offersPeritonealDialysis": false,
  "offersInCenterHemodialysis": false,
  "lateShiftOnly": false
}

Every input field is optional. With an empty input the actor returns California facilities (default maxFacilities is 10). Combine states, chainOrganizations, service flags, and star-rating bounds to narrow the list.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~cms-dialysis-facilities-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"states":["TX"],"chainOrganizations":["DaVita"],"minFiveStar":4,"maxFacilities":50}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~cms-dialysis-facilities-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"states":["NY"],"offersPeritonealDialysis":true,"maxFacilities":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/cms-dialysis-facilities-scraper \
  --input '{"ccnNumbers":["052305"]}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per facility record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Paid AI add-ons. ai_summary, ai_quality_summary, and ai_risk are separate events, each billed only when they produce usable output. Leave them off to pay for results only.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors or finds nothing, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher maxFacilities.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The filter combination matched nothing. Loosen filters (for example remove chainOrganizations or widen states), and confirm state codes and CCNs. Zero-result runs are not charged.

How do I find only chain facilities from one operator? Set chainOrganizations to the operator name (for example DaVita or Fresenius Medical Care), or set chainOwnedOnly to keep any chain-owned facility.

How do I get only high-quality facilities? Set minFiveStar to 4 or 5. Combine with service flags such as offersPeritonealDialysis.

Why is a quality rate null? CMS suppresses or does not report some measures for smaller facilities. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Do the AI add-ons need a paid plan? Yes. The AI summary, quality summary, and risk add-ons require a paid Apify plan and are charged only when they return usable output.

Is this an official Medicare or CMS tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with CMS or Medicare. It reads only data that is publicly available through Medicare Care Compare.
