CMS Care Compare — ASCCMS Care Compare — ASC Quality Measures (Facility)
U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services · Tier-1 · research-only (never on individual profiles)
Per-facility ASC quality measures (ASC-1 through ASC-12) submitted via the ASC Quality Reporting Program for ~5,611 Medicare-certified ambulatory surgical centers. Identity + NPI + state + per-measure rates and footnotes. **NPI IS PRESENT** (100% coverage) — the only Care Compare dataset that publishes NPI directly on the agency-level table.
How this source shows up on Fonteum.
Sprint 1 LOCKED-7 #9: identity backbone for ASC CCNs (POS QIES coverage incomplete). Deterministic NPI bridge (no NPPES fuzzy match needed) — match-confidence improvement vs other Care Compare datasets. Drives the brand-hub `/care-compare/asc` module per Sprint 1 master spec Page 5. ASC-12 (7-day risk-standardized hospital visit rate) is the headline quality measure.
What this source does NOT mean
ASCs do NOT have a CMS-published overall star rating (unlike NH / HH / Dialysis). Quality is per-measure (ASC-1 through ASC-12); Fonteum does not manufacture composite scores. Suppression for <25 cases applies.
Per-field display contract.
Every field below has a `display_allowed` flag in the §94 provenance schema. Write-locked fields are captured to provenance for audit but never rendered on profile pages.
Renders on profile
17 fieldsWhat we can’t infer from this source.
- Suppression for <25 cases — render `<DataAvailabilityState>` with explicit reason.
- SDOH measure newly required from 2025 reporting period — limited baseline comparison data for the first 2 years.
- No CMS-published overall star rating; quality is per-measure.
- `facility_id` is the source field name for CCN — ingestion normalizes to `ccn` for downstream consistency.
- Multi-year rows in source dataset; ingestion filters to most recent year and dedupes.
- Non-state jurisdictions present (PR, GU, VI, MP, AS).

Compliance posture
We don’t sell ranking and don’t accept payment to move a provider up the list. For final hire decisions, verify licensing, insurance, and references directly with the applicable licensing or credentialing body.
No bulk-licensing source family is currently ingested for this vertical. Hire-time checking still routes through the body named above.
