Benchmarking Tools

See how a provider compares, and what the difference is worth

Every Medicare provider files a cost report, and CMS publishes ratings, staffing, ownership and payment data on top of it. It's a wealth of information that's hard to use in its raw form. Our tools turn it into maps, trends and side-by-side comparisons anyone on your team can read.

How they help

Put your numbers in context

Benchmarks answer the questions that come up in budget meetings, rate reviews and board rooms, using the same public data regulators and payers rely on.

  1. Know where you stand

    Compare costs, revenue, margins, staffing and quality with providers like you: same state, county, size or ownership, or a list you choose.

  2. Find reimbursement opportunities

    See where your filed figures sit against peers, what each gap is worth in dollars, and how payment rules differ by state and payer.

  3. Spot trends early

    Follow five years of filed results for a market or peer group, and see whether you're moving with it or apart from it.

  4. Understand your market

    Who operates nearby, who owns them, how they rate and how full they are, alongside demand measures like Medicare Advantage share and the aging population.

  5. Prepare for the conversation

    One-page report cards, state reports and chart images ready for boards, lenders, budget meetings and payer negotiations.

  6. Evaluate growth and acquisitions

    Screen markets and providers for the signals that matter to buyers and operators, then compare candidates with your own portfolio.

The tools use public data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and other public sources, with figures shown as filed. Benchmarks describe how providers compare; they are not a forecast or an audit of any provider.
