Common questions
How is this list ranked?
By the quality of patient care star rating (1 to 5), the patient survey star rating (HHCAHPS) and the share of patients who would definitely recommend the agency, in that order, all as published by Medicare (CMS). Providers equal on all of these share a rank and are listed alphabetically. Providers without a Medicare star rating are not ranked. We do not add our own scores.
Is this our recommendation?
No. The order comes only from Medicare’s star ratings, which summarize inspections, staffing, patient surveys and other measures for past patients. They do not say which provider is right for one person. Ask your doctor, call, and visit.
