Renal Care

Updated Data for Dialysis Facility Care Compare (DFCC) on Medicare.gov Now AvailableThe Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is pleased to announce that new data about dialysis facilities are available on Dialysis Facility Care Compare on Medicare.gov—the website where beneficiaries, families, and health care providers can view and compare quality data about dialysis facilities. CMS uses these data, organized into a series of measures, to create two-star rating systems that help ensure safety, quality, and transparency for dialysis facilities and that help beneficiaries make educated decisions about where to get their dialysis treatments.
What’s in the July 2024 Data Refresh?
With the July 2024 data refresh, these measures for dialysis facilities were updated with data from October 2022 - September 2023:
  • Adult and child patients who had enough waste removed from their blood during hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
  • Adult patients who had too much calcium in their blood
  • Hemoglobin management (Downloadable Data Only)
  • Phosphorus concentrations in the blood (Downloadable Data Only)
  • Adult patients who received treatment through an arteriovenous fistula
  • Adult patients who had a catheter (tube) left in a vein for at least 3 consecutive complete months, for their regular hemodialysis treatments
  • Measurement of nPCR for Pediatric Hemodialysis Patients
  • Patients who were on the kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant waiting list
The HCP Vaccination Measure has also been updated. It is updated quarterly, and the data used in this release is from July - September 2023. ​
