Facility-level details (address, beds, ownership, teaching status) come from CMS provider files and the CMS Provider of Services file.
Pricing data, where shown, is drawn from the hospital's own Machine-Readable File (MRF) published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. See our methodology for the full update cadence and limitations.
