Loading Medicare cost report data into your browser. Everything runs locally — nothing you ask is uploaded anywhere.
Every Medicare-certified hospital in the US must file an annual cost report with CMS. It is the only public source of complete financials for every American hospital: income statement, balance sheet, utilization, staffing, and charity care. AskCostReports loads CMS's curated extract — 117 measures per hospital per year — into your browser and lets you query it by asking questions.

Cost reports trail real time by one to two years: hospitals file about five months after their fiscal year ends, and CMS audits and publishes in batches. Every analytics vendor works from these same publications. This app refreshes itself automatically when CMS publishes new data.
Figures are as filed and can be restated later. Fiscal years vary by hospital, so group by report year for trends. Small specialty facilities file alongside general acute-care hospitals — pick peer groups thoughtfully. And the AI can write an imperfect query: every answer shows its work so you can verify before you rely on a number.
The dataset loads into your browser and stays there. Your questions and the query results go to the AI to compose answers; the raw data never does. No accounts, no tracking.
