Find the care you need — check out Care Compare!

CMS launched Care Compare on Medicare.gov to make it easier to find and understand information about doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care services. Now you can compare location, quality, and price information for health care providers. New features let you filter on the items that are most important to you, so you can personalize your results. It's now easier than ever to review and compare health care providers, even on your tablet or smartphone. For more information, watch the eMedicare: Improving Compare Tools webinar recording, Medicare Care Compare video or see the latest press release.
