About these figures

Wage index, CBSA, teaching status, case-mix index and special-status flags come from each hospital's FY2027 IPPS record. State and national figures are simple averages across IPPS hospitals.

The cost-based factors behind a priced claim (IME, DSH, capital, cost-to-charge ratios, uncompensated care) are applied inside the pricers and shown there as dollars.

Use this wage index

Each post-acute payment system publishes its own wage index table. Use the value for the provider's own setting, not the hospital value for the same area.

Reading NPI results

Names, addresses and taxonomies are self-reported by providers to the national NPI registry and shown as filed.

An organization NPI is not a Medicare provider number. Use Find hospital on a row to match an organization NPI to its IPPS hospital and CCN.

What a hospital's payment factors mean

A hospital's Medicare payment depends on factors attached to its CMS certification number: the wage index for its labor market, teaching status, case mix and special-status flags. The profile shows each factor with a plain-English meaning and compares the wage index with the state and national values.

The FY2027 impact panel shows how the new year's weights and wage index change the hospital's payments at its own case mix, and the action buttons open the hospital in every pricer on the site.

Questions

What is a CCN?

The six-digit CMS certification number that identifies a Medicare-certified provider.

Can I search by NPI?

Yes. A ten-digit NPI is matched to its hospital where one exists, and the NPI mode looks up any provider.
