The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) provides official datasets for the Medicare.gov Physician Compare website to give you useful information about groups, physicians, and other clinicians currently enrolled in Medicare and what they’re doing to improve the care they provide. Physician Compare will begin publicly reporting utilization data for clinicians, starting with a subset of the 2015 Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes.
The goal was to define a subset of codes that would provide more information about the scope of care of the clinicians included on Physician Compare. The subset of publicly reported HCPCS codes will be based on the top 5 codes reported by each available Medicare specialty, excluding evaluation and management codes. The evaluation and management codes do not provide descriptive information regarding care and were, therefore, excluded from the available subset. To define the universe of available HCPCS codes for the Physician Compare Downloadable Database, the top 5 codes for each specialty represented on the website were identified. However, the information available for any given clinician is not limited to their specific specialty. This just defines the subset of codes available for inclusion in the Downloadable Database. As a result, clinicians may have data publicly reported for more than 5 HCPCS codes. Below is a list of the 2015 HCPCS codes targeted for public reporting in the Physician Compare Downloadable Database to be released with the performance information finalized in the 2016 Physician Fee Schedule final rule (80 FR 71130 through 71131).
The Physician Compare 30-day preview period gives clinicians a chance to review their utilization data prior to it being publicly reported on Physician Compare. Any clinician who provided services in 2015, and is still providing services, should preview their utilization data prior to it being publicly reported in the Physician Compare Downloadable Database. To preview this data, go to the Medicare Provider Utilization and Payment Data1 file on Data.CMS.gov. Clinicians should then review the information for the HCPCS codes listed below before preview ends on November 17, 2017.
If you have any questions about this information, please contact the Physician Compare support team at [email protected].
