Identify a Provider

Provider ID information is available on the CMS website for hospitals, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), renal facilities, hospices and home health agencies (HHAs). This is especially helpful if you have an overlapping claim situation. You can access other providers' contact information on the CMS website.

• From the Cost Reports on the CMS website, select the appropriate line of business for the provider you are searching from the listing on the left side of the web page
• Scroll to the bottom of the page and select the link with 'Reports' in the title
• A ZIP file will open
• Select the file name with 'ID' in the title
• Once the file opens, look for either the name and addresses or provider ID and open the spreadsheet to view the list of providers: 
  • Home Health
  • Hospice
  • Hospital
  • Renal Facility
  • SNF
