CMS Care Compare — ASC

CMS Care Compare — ASC Quality Measures (Facility)

U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services · Tier-1 · research-only (never on individual profiles)

Live
Source:CMS Care Compare — ASC·Snapshot May 2026Open official source ↗

Per-facility ASC quality measures (ASC-1 through ASC-12) submitted via the ASC Quality Reporting Program for ~5,611 Medicare-certified ambulatory surgical centers. Identity + NPI + state + per-measure rates and footnotes. **NPI IS PRESENT** (100% coverage) — the only Care Compare dataset that publishes NPI directly on the agency-level table.

What Fonteum uses it for

How this source shows up on Fonteum.

Identity backbone for ASC CCNs (POS QIES coverage incomplete). Deterministic NPI bridge (no NPPES fuzzy match needed) — match-confidence improvement vs other Care Compare datasets. Drives the brand-hub `/care-compare/asc` module. ASC-12 (7-day risk-standardized hospital visit rate) is the headline quality measure.

What this source does NOT mean

ASCs do NOT have a CMS-published overall star rating (unlike NH / HH / Dialysis). Quality is per-measure (ASC-1 through ASC-12); Fonteum does not manufacture composite scores. Suppression for <25 cases applies.

Fields used

Per-field display contract.

Every field below has a `display_allowed` flag in the §94 provenance schema. Write-locked fields are captured to provenance for audit but never rendered on profile pages.

Limitations

What we can’t infer from this source.

  • Suppression for <25 cases — render `<DataAvailabilityState>` with explicit reason.
  • SDOH measure newly required from 2025 reporting period — limited baseline comparison data for the first 2 years.
  • No CMS-published overall star rating; quality is per-measure.
  • `facility_id` is the source field name for CCN — ingestion normalizes to `ccn` for downstream consistency.
  • Multi-year rows in source dataset; ingestion filters to most recent year and dedupes.
  • Non-state jurisdictions present (PR, GU, VI, MP, AS).

Sample provenance

What a single field looks like in the graph.

A worked example. Every field surfaced from this source carries this shape of provenance line — source · last checked · display rule · confidence (when applicable).

Field

NPI presence + CCN format (snapshot 2026-05-07)

Sample value

5,611 facilities; reporting year 2024; 100% NPI presence; 100% 10-char CCN conformance

Provenance line

Source: CMS Care Compare · ASC Quality Measures - Facility (4jcv-atw7) · Reporting Year 2024 · Snapshot 2026-05-07 · Display rule: per-facility ASC-1 through ASC-12 + ASC-12 performance category render on /care-compare/asc module + per-facility pages
