HHS Releases New Data and Report on Nursing Home Ownership (SNF)

Yesterday April 19, 2022, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) was to begin releasing publically data including information on mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, and changes of ownership from 2016-2022 for hospitals and nursing homes enrolled in Medicare.  The data on the changes of ownership is now available in the CMS data.cms.gov database under the Change of Ownership section, and is expected to be updated on a quarterly basis going forward.
