HFS HCRIS – End Stage Renal Dialysis (ESRD)

What This Product Does

The HFS HCRIS Database gives users access to the CMS public-use Medicare Cost Report data. ESRD Medicare Cost Reports contain thousands of data elements for many providers across multiple reporting periods. This website brings key elements of this data into clear view, allowing users to focus on specific providers and elements, filter the data, and extract exactly what they need for further analysis.

Recreated Medicare Cost Reports for All 265-11 Reports

CMS includes all the necessary data elements in the 265‑11 Medicare Cost Report Public Use File to recreate full Medicare cost reports. The database provides complete PDF versions of these recreated cost reports for viewing or download. Users of HFS software can download an HFS data file (.mcrx) for viewing, editing, applying adjustments, comparisons, or any other HFS software functionality.

Disclaimer

These reports were generated using CMS HCRIS public-use data. CMS updates HCRIS quarterly as new information becomes available. HCRIS data is not provided in cost-report format; HFS processes and organizes this data into readable reports. While HFS strives for accuracy, recreated reports may not be identical to the originally filed or MAC‑settled versions.
