Description

The Medicare Geographic Variation Public Use File provides the ability to view demographic, utilization and quality indicators at the state level (including Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands), and at the Hospital Referral Region (HRR) level. This aggregated program data enables researchers and policymakers to evaluate geographic variation in the utilization and quality of health care services for the Medicare Fee for Service population.
