In addition to accessing Medicare.gov's Compare
tools through our websites (Nursing
Home Compare,
Hospital Compare, Home Health Compare
and Dialysis Facility Compare),
there are other methods available to get and interact with our data. All of the
data from the Medicare.gov Compare Tools are
available at data.Medicare.gov
for online access and reuse. In addition to viewing the data in your browser, you
can download the data in a variety of formats. More importantly, you can also access
the data through an Application Programming Interface, or API, which lets you interact
in real time with the same data we use to power the
Medicare.gov website.
For more information about the available APIs, please visit dev.socrata.com. All data posted to data.Medicare.gov are in the public domain
and open for reuse. Please note that Medicare.gov does not endorse any third-party
tools or resources built with our data.
Although we do not yet have fully mobile-optimized versions of the
Medicare.gov Compare Tools in place yet, we are working toward this goal
and will update this information as mobile-optimized enhancements come online.
