## About this feed

> The Medicare Post-Acute Care and Hospice Provider Utilization and Payment Public Use Files (PAC PUF) contains information on demographic and clinical characteristics of beneficiaries served, professional and paraprofessional service utilization, and payment information at the provider, state, and national levels for each PAC setting (i.e. HHA, hospices, SNF, IRF, and LTCH). There are additional datasets which can be found as a downloadable report under ‘Resources', which include information specific to the unique variables (e.g., case-mix groups) for HHAs, SNFs and IRFs.
>
> Please note the data included may not be representative of a physician’s entire practice. The data are also not intended to indicate the quality of care provided and are not risk-adjusted to account for differences in underlying severity of disease of patient populations.

## Row-level lineage

Every row in this table traces to the exact CMS source file that produced it. The `FILE_ID` column joins to the `FEEDS_FILES` catalog table, and `FILE_FEED_ID` joins to the `FEEDS` master table:

```mermaid
erDiagram
    FEEDS ||--o{ FEEDS_FILES : "ID = FEED_ID"
    FEEDS ||--o{ MEDICARE_POSTACUTE_CARE__HOSPICE__BY_GEOGRAPHY_AND_PROVIDER : "ID = FILE_FEED_ID"
    FEEDS_FILES ||--o{ MEDICARE_POSTACUTE_CARE__HOSPICE__BY_GEOGRAPHY_AND_PROVIDER : "ID = FILE_ID"

    FEEDS {
        text ID PK
        text TITLE
        text VIEW_NAME
        text ACCURAL_PERIODICITY
    }
    FEEDS_FILES {
        text ID PK
        text FEED_ID FK
        date TEMPORAL_START
        date TEMPORAL_END
        date CMS_FEED_MODIFIED

    }
    MEDICARE_POSTACUTE_CARE__HOSPICE__BY_GEOGRAPHY_AND_PROVIDER {

        text SMRY_CTGRY
        text SRVC_CTGRY
        number remaining_84_data_columns
    }
```

Trace any row back to its source file and reporting period:

```sql

       ff.TEMPORAL_START, ff.TEMPORAL_END, ff.CMS_FEED_MODIFIED

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.dataplex-consulting.com/data-catalog/cms-data-feeds-dataset/cms-data-feeds-catalog/medicare-post-acute-care-hospice-by-geography-and-provider.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
