U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services · Tier-1 · research-only (never on individual profiles)
Civil-money penalties + denial-of-payment events; ~$480M cumulative. Sub-join of NH Health Deficiencies via Survey Event ID. Sprint 1 LOCKED-A data-only treatment — surfaces in audit-pack export only; no dedicated brand-hub page.
How this source shows up on Fonteum.
Sprint 1 LOCKED-7 #11 (sub-join). Audit-pack export field for /deficiencies methodology-versioned customer exports.
What this source does NOT mean
Not a standalone surface. Joins to Deficiencies via Survey Event ID; absent that join, raw penalty rows lack the citation context needed to interpret them.
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.
Research-only — never on profiles
5 fieldsWhat we can’t infer from this source.
- Some penalty entries are placeholders pending administrative adjudication.
- Finalization lag 3–6 months behind Deficiencies publication.
- Data-only sub-join — does not have a dedicated brand-hub page; joins to /deficiencies via Survey Event ID.

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.
