Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

The Data Compendium contains historic, current, and projected data on Medicare enrollment and Medicaid recipients, expenditures, and utilization. Data pertaining to budget, administrative and operating costs, individual income, financing, and health care providers and suppliers are also included. National data not specific to the Medicare or Medicaid programs may be found throughout the publications. The tables are fairly rich in format (meaning the download time may also seem long for the Adobe Portable Document Files), yet provide expert analysis of the data CMS collects each year about its programs and the nation's health care system.

For years, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has printed an annual Data Compendium giving key statistics about CMS programs and health care spending. Now this Data Compendium is available online as a service to researchers, policymakers, legislators, economists, and statisticians in health care.
