What is NPI Referral Data?
Would you like to know how many patients are sent to you by your referring physicians and referring facilities instead of being sent to your competitors?
We can provide you those insights utilizing CMS referral information. This fast data store tracks providers and facilitites who treat patients.
This data can be used by practices and providers as a proxy for the healthcare network in order to examine referral information. The data is used to model the network share of patient referrals between providers, groups of providers and facilities.
What Is In The Data?
Data is available from 2009 to 2017.
The data indicates shared relationships between physicians and other healthcare providers indicating the number of patients they share as well as who saw the patient first.
The datasets are very large. For example, the 2016 dataset is over 140 million records of referral data.
