## Hospital enrollment records, organized

Build a hospital enrollment and location research table from the official CMS data API. This Actor uses the Hospital Enrollments feed associated with the broader Care Compare ecosystem.

## Try this Actor

1. **Choose a small scope.** Keep the existing `TN` state prefill and maximum of twenty-five records for a first sample. Add city or organization-name filters if you need a narrower slice.
2. **Run and review.** Open the dataset for enrollment rows and the run's key-value-store `SUMMARY` for saved counts, source failures and incomplete coverage.
3. **Use the results.** Export CSV or JSON and retain CMS Certification Numbers (CCNs) and National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) where published.

**Read this before using the data:** This feed contains enrollment records, not hospital quality ratings or a clinical recommendation. The classic Hospital General Information Care Compare dataset is not the source used here.

## Result preview

The dataset view highlights these columns:

- **CMS certification number** · `ccn`
- **National provider identifier** · `npi`
- **Organization name** · `organizationName`
- **Doing-business-as name** · `dbaName`
- **City** · `city`
- **State** · `state`

Use the original source links and the field definitions below when interpreting the results. CSV works well for flat columns; JSON preserves nested values.

## Usage and pricing

Base result rate on the FREE tier: **$3 per 1,000 results**. The [Pricing tab](https://apify.com/maydit/cms-care-compare-scraper/pricing) shows your plan's result rate and any Actor Start charge. Set a small result limit for the first run; the requested limit is not a guarantee of that many results.

## Full guide

> Collect **CMS Hospital Enrollments** from the official `data.cms.gov` data API. **No API key.**

### What it does

Fetches enrollment rows (CCN, NPI, organization, address, subgroups) from dataset id `f6f6505c-e8b0-4d57-b258-e2b94133aaf2` via `https://data.cms.gov/data-api/v1/dataset/.../data`.

### Honest scope

This Actor uses **Hospital Enrollments**, not the Hospital General Information Care Compare dataset. Its enrollment and location fields do not include hospital quality ratings.

### Input

- **state** — default `TN`
- **organizationContains** / **city** — optional filters
- **maxResults** / **maxRunSeconds**

### Source updates

CMS can replace dataset identifiers or change availability. The source is listed as Hospital Enrollments in the [CMS data catalog](https://data.cms.gov/data.json). Report source failures through Actor Issues.
### Result accounting

Only real source records are written to the dataset. `SUMMARY.total` counts saved rows. A dataset spending cap stops further writes and sets `SUMMARY.stoppedOnChargeLimit` and `SUMMARY.incomplete`. Source failures and time limits are reported in the summary; they do not generate substitute result rows.

## Help with your run

Open the **Issues** tab on this Actor with the run URL, the input field that caused trouble and what you expected to receive. Remove API keys and private information before posting.

## Understand your run

Open **Run report** in the run’s Output tab for saved-record counts, reported source issues and limits, and suggested next steps. Use **CSV export** to take the saved results into a spreadsheet. The existing JSON results and detailed machine-readable summary remain available.

The report reflects this run’s recorded coverage. A successful run or a saved result does not establish that every possible source record was collected.
