Health Expenditures Statistics

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) (formerly called the Health Care Financing Administration) provides data and statistics on MEDICARE and MEDICAID issues.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) allows you to search for data on hospital use, access, charges, quality and outcomes. The information provided is not for specific hospitals, but gives overall statistics for different types of hospitals.

The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) collects data on the use, cost, and methods of payment for health services and data on the cost, scope, and breadth of private health insurance held by and available to the US population.
