Our mission
Actionable Intelligence
Medicare Agency Finder exists because federal data is accurate—but inconvenient. Think of us as the bridge between raw, fragmented federal data and your next decision—whether that's a referral, a career move, or a partnership.

Common questions
Medicare agency finder FAQ
Clear answers for families comparing providers, clinicians verifying certification, and professionals using CMS data for outreach.
How to verify Medicare home health agency certification
Each listing includes a CMS Certification Number (CCN). Use it to confirm active Medicare certification directly with the agency or through official CMS resources. Hospital discharge planners and families should treat CCN verification as a standard checkpoint before scheduling services or making referrals.
What services does Medicare home health care cover?
Medicare home health care services typically include skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, medical social work, and home health aide services for eligible homebound patients. Coverage depends on medical necessity and physician orders. Our directory shows certified service types by agency; for official coverage rules, visit Medicare.gov and confirm cost-sharing with your chosen provider.
What should I look for when choosing a home health agency?
Prioritize Medicare certification status, geographic coverage, services offered, and CMS quality ratings where available. Ask about intake availability, care coordination, and nurse supervision. Families benefit from a structured comparison checklist; clinical referrers should confirm CCN, service fit, and capacity before sending a patient home.
How current is this Medicare agency finder data?
Our CMS certified agency directory updates quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 via automated GitHub Actions pipelines. Last updated: October 1, 2026. We apply manual corrections between cycles when critical provider changes require immediate attention.
How to find Medicare-certified hospice near me
Start with state-level search on our main directory, then review agencies serving your city and contact them directly to confirm hospice-specific certification and service availability. Because public CMS datasets focus on certified providers rather than real-time bed availability, always call ahead to confirm they are accepting new patients in your area.
What is the difference between this directory and Medicare.gov?
Medicare.gov remains the authoritative government source. MedicareAgencyFinder.com is an independent Medicare provider directory that transforms CMS data into city-level search, mapping, and audience-specific guidance for families, clinicians, and industry professionals.
Does this directory show real-time availability or intake capacity?
No. We provide verified certification, contact, and service-type intelligence from public CMS datasets—not live capacity feeds. Contact agencies directly to confirm they are accepting new admissions before making care decisions.
Why is my agency missing from the directory?
Only Medicare-certified home health agencies in the CMS Provider of Services dataset appear here. If an agency is missing, verify its certification status on CMS public data portals using dataset ID 6jpm-sxkc before requesting a review.
