Data / Hospital fundamentals

HCRIS hospital financials

Thirty years of revenue, cost, margin, beds, payer mix and charity care for every Medicare-certified hospital, from the cost report each one files with CMS.

What it is

Full financial and operational detail from the Healthcare Cost Report Information System (HCRIS) — the annual cost report every Medicare-certified hospital in the US is required to file. One row per (CCN × fiscal year); a hospital with 20 years of filing history has 20 rows. This is the underlying cost-report line-item table (charges, costs, revenues, bed counts, workforce, balance sheet), not a search-index summary — it's the full financial history CMS/NBER-cleaned files provide, preferred here over a "latest per CCN" view because bulk-license buyers generally want the time series, not just the current snapshot.

What a desk does with it

Same-store validation against reported results. Uncompensated-care and Medicaid exposure per operator. The denominator for every hospital-sector question.
